Koster opens Italy biomethane plant
German waste treatment company Koster has inaugurated its plant in San Nazzaro Sesia, near Milan in northern Italy.
The plant will treat around 60,000 tonnes per year of organic waste and feeds around 700 standard cubic metres of biomethane, that is ’99.9%’ pure, per hour into the grid.
