Energising About Biostoom News & Press Vacancies Contact About Biostoom Oostende Renewable energy from residual waste: a technological tour de force BIOSTOOM Ostend produces green electricity from residual waste, originating from pre-treated industrial waste or household waste. This fuel is processed externally (purified, ground and dried) and incinerated at BIOSTOOM. Steam is produced with the heat released during the combustion process. The steam drives a turbine that generates electricity, which is then injected into Elia's high-voltage grid. The efficiency of BIOSTOOM is much higher than that of a traditional incinerator. The plant complies with the strictest European emission standards. Moreover, the bottom ashes are fully valorised as a secondary raw material. More information about the combustion process in the chapter: 'Energy generation'. About the origin of Biostoom Oostende The biosteam installation was founded in 2007 under the name Electrawinds Biostoom. In 2008 NIBC acquired 20% of the shares. In 2013 Electrawinds decided to sell the assets of the well-functioning biosteam plant. Bionerga acquired 70 percent of the shares, the remaining 30 percent is owned by NIBC. BIONERGA Since the beginning of 2014, Bionerga has been the main shareholder of BIOSTOOM. BIONERGA has been optimally recovering raw materials and energy from non-reusable waste flows for more than 30 years, in a socially responsible manner. Together with the Bionerga waste power plant in Houthalen, BIOSTOOM Ostend annually converts more than 250,000 tons of residual waste into heat and green electricity. Bovendien verwerkt BIONERGA jaarlijks ruim 150.000 ton organisch afval tot hoogwaardige VLACO-compost in haar vijf composteerinstallaties.
