Operated by Sofiyska Voda, part of the Veolia group, the plant is one of the most energy-efficient in Europe.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe collect the wastewater from Sofia citizens. We treat it here so that it&#8217;s clean when it enters the river. In the process, we produce biogas. This biogas is then transformed into electricity and heat. The heat is used for our processes and the electricity satisfies the needs of this plant,\u201d Stanislav Stanev, the Technical Director at Veolia Bulgaria, told Euronews. Every year the Kubratovo plant generates around 24,000 megawatt-hours of electricity and heat energy &#8211; enough to power 2,300 homes annually. But what sets the plant apart from other water treatment facilities is the efficiency of its digesters where the biogas is made, explains Stanislav.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to CO2, wastewater treatment produces a lot of gases like methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Capturing and using these gases through a process called cogeneration prevents their release into the atmosphere, while also enabling them to be harnessed as an energy source.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/green\/2024\/08\/27\/the-bulgarian-water-plant-transforming-waste-into-power\">Euronews<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/4-581\/\">The Bulgarian water plant transforming waste into power and products<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[2593,575,2885],"class_list":["post-133313","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-bulgaria","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-wastewater"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133313","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133313"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133313\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133313"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133313"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133313"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
