Denmark: Norway-based Geminor has established a solid recovered fuel (SRF) production line with a capacity over 40,000t/yr at its Hub waste processing plant in Aalborg. The line will shred and mix municipal solid waste from the region. Geminor will supply 120,000t of SRF to Aalborg Portland Cement over a three year period starting from January 2021. The line includes a chain feeding conveyor supplied by Westeria, a Metso 4000-8 pre-shredder, a Steinert magnetic sorter and a Metso 3550 fine shredder. Aalborg Portland Cement is targeting a 75% SRF substitution rate at its Aalborg cement plant over the period.

Denmark: Norway-based Geminor says that it has secured a 120,000t solid recovered fuel (SRF) supply contract with Aalborg Portland Cement. Under the terms of the contract, the company will supply the producer with 40,000t/yr of SRF from 2021 until 2023, with an option for another two years. As a result, Geminor subsidiary Geminor Waste Treatment has invested Euro1.50m in establishing a new SRF production line in Aalborg. The company said, “full capacity for deliveries will be in place” in early 2021.

Geminor Denmark country manager Kasper Thomsen said, “We are very pleased to extend our cooperation with Aalborg Portland Cement, which has been running for several years already. This agreement entails a significant increase in volumes and constitutes a natural development of our collaboration.” He added, “Together with Aalborg Portland Cement we will sort, design and "fine-tune" a waste fraction that meets strict requirements regarding chlorine, biomass and other content. A goal in the long run is to create a good replacement for both petcoke and coal, and thus deliver in line with existing climate goals and the recent Danish waste regulations.”
