Saarland’s waste and wastewater association EVS has published its first sustainability report, including a first estimate of its greenhouse gas emissions. The plant that burns the region’s residual waste is not part of it.
Key Takeaways
- 115,420 tonnes of residual household waste collected in 2025. All residual waste from Saarland is thermally treated at the AVA Velsen plant.
- AVA Velsen treats 255,000 tonnes of waste a year and generates around 150,000 MWh of electricity and 170,000 MWh of heat.
- Revenue of 242.6 million euros. The report contains no operating result.
- First greenhouse gas estimate: 20,179 tonnes of CO2e for Scope 1 and 2. Subsidiaries are outside the reporting boundary.
- No reduction targets and no transition plan yet. The stated aim is net greenhouse gas neutrality by 2045.
