The other day at the waste incineration plant
From waste is made electricity for 250,000 individuals And this is the highlight. The heat produced during combustion is used. On the one hand, to heat the nearby Ford plant. But this is just a nice side effect. The majority of the heat is converted into electricity by generators. And even that the power consumption of 250,000 individuals can be fulfilled. The waste incineration plant Cologne is hence essentially a power plant also provides a quarter of the town of Cologne with electricity. That sounds amazing.
