When it comes here what we want to do is to burn the rest that is not usable for material recovering because it's too dirty or too mixed or whatever, we want to recover the energy in it because that's still available. So that's when it comes here and we take care of it and burn it up and then we use the energy to district heating and producing electricity.

So 300,000 tonnes comes here every year and we can capture 300,000 tonnes CO2 from those 300,000 tonnes of waste. So it's approximately one ton of CO2 per ton of waste that can be captured.

If we succeed in this, this will be negative emissions because the mix of carbon in the waste is approximately 50 to 60 percent biological and 40 to 50 percent fossil, so the biological part of it will be carbon negative, or negative emissions.
