Energy recovery
The Centre plays an important role in the energy generation and the fight against climate change, since it is one of the main generators of renewable energy in Catalunya, in addition to a referent due to the diversity of its origins:
Photovoltaic: by means of the biggest photovoltaic cover in the Maresme area; we obtain 400,000 kWh/year, which represent 160 tCO2/year saved, equivalent to planting 8,000 trees.
Anaerobic digestion (biogas): 13 milion kWh/year, which represent 5,000 tCO2/year saved, equivalent to planting 250,000 trees.
Waste-to-Energy plant: 80 milion kWh/year, equivalent to the domestic electric consumption of 80,000 people or 30,000 homes.
Tub Verd (Green Pipe): Heat distribution network that uses environmental infrastructures of the city of Mataró to prevent the use of fossil fuels, like fuel or natural gas. The Centre sends to this network 7.5 t/h of steam produced in the Waste-to-Energy plant. This is equivalent to 4 MW of heat.
