AEB’s specialists advise other waste-to-energy companies, industries and governments across the world.

AEB is working with the FarWest housing cooperative, VU University Amsterdam’s Institute for Environmental Studies, the Ministry of Housing, Spatial Planning and the Environment (VROM), and Westpoort Warmte.

Synergy in practice
AEB’s cooperation with Waternet shows how synergy can maximise environmental performance. Waternet’s sewage treatment plant is adjacent to AEB’s facility. AEB uses Waternet’s waste products to produce renewable electricity. In return, Waternet’s plant receives heat and electricity. AEB has a heat supply agreement with Nuon to store and distribute excess heat generated by the combustion of waste, enabling AEB to provide heating to households and businesses for the coming years.
