Environment - New plan for sewage sludge: external incineration from 2025

In future, sewage plant operators in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern want to have the sewage sludge from wastewater treatment incinerated by external service providers for the time being. From 2025, this should ensure "long-term recycling security with simultaneous price stability", as the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Sewage Sludge Cooperation (KKMV) announced on Thursday.

The KKMV had actually been planning its own recycling plant not far from the central Rostock Bramow sewage treatment plant, but construction turned out to be complicated: Due to cost increases, including during the corona pandemic, the plant's originally planned capacity of 100,000 tons of sewage sludge per year was initially halved to 50,000 tons. The new plan was further delayed and several shareholders left the cooperation.

The remaining 14 shareholders reportedly want to use the period of external sewage sludge utilization to decide whether and when it is still possible to build their own incineration plant. They will also examine how the amount of sewage sludge can be reduced overall in order to cut costs.
