Waste-to-Energy Plant of Roma

The project for the Rome waste-to-energy plant (Santa Palomba) concerns a high-efficiency R1 facility structured on two furnace-boiler lines (total thermal load ≈ 250 MWt) for a treatment capacity of ≈ 600,000 t/year of residual municipal waste, with a steam cycle prepared for cogeneration (district heating and steam for industrial uses) and equipped with an advanced flue gas line—dry reactor with hydrated lime and activated carbon, bag filter, wet scrubber and DeNOx SCR—designed for performance aligned with or better than BAT AEL. The layout includes ancillary plants for slag treatment (metal and aggregate recovery), a demonstration section for CO₂ capture and liquefaction, rooftop photovoltaic panels, and connections to the RTN 150 kV, the SNAM gas pipeline, and water supply from a treated source, with dedicated internal logistics and mitigation of traffic peaks. The approach is consistent with the European waste hierarchy and the EU target of landfill ≤ 10% by 2035, ensuring compliance with Legislative Decree 152/2006 and Legislative Decree 36/2023 (CAM, BIM).
