What we offer

Thanks to its advanced Waste Fired Power Plant in Amsterdam, AEB is at the forefront of energy production from waste.

Waste recycler

New technology has achieved an energy efficiency that is 30% higher than the average – this represents real progress. The Ministry of VROM has therefore awarded AEB the ‘Recovery’ (R1) status. This means that the government regards the method applied by AEB to convert waste into energy and construction materials as recycling, and therefore good for the environment. This also enables AEB to import waste for processing.

Foreign interest

AEB is contributing to a better environment for us all. The success of the Amsterdam technology has resulted in interest from foreign authorities. An increasing number of European countries are faced with stricter environmental standards for waste processing. AEB can help by offering its own technology and by processing the waste on a temporary basis. Despite the extra transport required to transfer the waste by train, lorry or ship to AEB in Amsterdam, CO2 emissions are lower than if the foreign authorities were to dump their waste in local landfill sites. This allows foreign authorities to achieve their environmental objectives immediately. Pilot projects are currently taking place with waste from Germany and the United Kingdom.
