Producing local power from waste
In a world where every piece of waste can become a resource, energy recovery is a cornerstone of the circular economy and global decarbonisation. At Blue Phoenix, we produce renewable energy from non-recyclable materials, turning waste into resources.
Through our advanced thermal treatment of tar-containing asphalt, we help communities generate electricity, heat, and steam locally, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and supporting zero-waste goals. In this way, we turn a hazardous waste stream into both sustainable products and clean energy.
Electricity, heat or steam production
Through our renewable energy solutions, we recover the hidden value in waste by turning it into reliable, sustainable power. The process uses controlled high temperatures to release energy, which is then recovered in three main forms:
Electricity
Enough renewable power to supply thousands of households and businesses, reducing dependency on fossil fuels.
Heat
Harnessed for district heating networks, keeping homes and public buildings warm without increasing carbon emissions.
Steam
Used to drive turbines for efficient power generation, or supplied directly to industrial processes.
Through the thermal treatment process, waste that cannot be recycled is treated in controlled, high-temperature environments, where its energy potential is unlocked. Heat from combustion is captured to produce steam, which powers turbines to generate electricity. Where possible, surplus steam and heat are recovered and delivered to local communities and industries — creating local energy loops that cut greenhouse gas emissions.
Our Impact in Numbers
1.2 million
tonnes of tar-containing asphalt processed every year
60.000 households
can be supplied with electricity generated from our process annually
How we do it:
Thermal treatment process
We apply high-temperature treatment with strict emissions control to safely process tar-containing asphalt and roofing materials. During this process, the mineral fractions are recovered for reuse in construction, while the released energy is captured as steam. This steam drives a turbine to generate renewable electricity and can also be supplied as heat for local district heating networks.
Our sustainability efforts
Our thermal treatment process ensures that every output has a purpose. Renewable energy recovery is only one outcome of our process. By ensuring every material stream is transformed into safe raw materials and reneable energy, nothing is left without purpose. This is ow we turn what was once see as waste into resources, closing the loop with safe, efficient, and valuable outcomes.
