Exploring the Evero Boston Biomass Plant

🌱The Evero Boston Biomass Plant generates energy from shredded waste, including cardboard, paper, and plastics.

🏗️The plant is still under construction and undergoing maintenance, as evidenced by the red shoot and lack of fans.

♻️The plant prevents non-recyclable waste from going to landfill by converting it into electricity through gasification.

🌍The facility aims to reduce the environmental impact of waste by turning it into a renewable energy source.

🚁Drone footage provides a unique perspective of the facility and its surroundings, revealing hidden views.

What kind of waste is used in the energy-from-waste process?

—The plant uses shredded waste, including cardboard, paper, and plastics, which are burned through gasification to produce electricity.
