Vow offers a wide range of technologies and solutions which converts different
waste materials into valuable raw materials and clean energy. These days,
handling of plastic waste is a particularly relevant topic in the company’s
dialogue with customers.
The solution which will be offered in Indonesia is mobile and container based.
It basically converts plastic waste to electricity through pyrolysis. The
solution will replace diesel in local power production. Similar container based
units are already in use as part of a pilot project at the municipal waste
company Lindum’s facilities outside Drammen, Norway, and at Vow’s own facility
at Vernon, France.
"We are looking forward to working with Tinfos AS and deliver such ground-
breaking technology and solutions to a significant problem in many communities.
The main objective is to solve local plastic waste problems to prevent this
entering our oceans, at the same time to generate energy. This means that we
give plastic waste an economic value for the local communities and an incentive
to solve the problem. We expect that the cooperation agreement will result in
delivery of several such units in the course of the coming years, said Henrik
Badin, CEO of Vow ASA.
Tinfos AS is one of Norway’s oldest companies and among the first in the world
to generate renewable energy in form of electricity from hydro power. Today, the
company is involved in development and operation of run-of-river hydro power
stations in Norway and abroad. Outside Norway, Tinfos AS is particularly engaged
in Indonesia where the company has operated since 2009, and in Western Balkan.
“For a long period of time, Tinfos AS has witnessed with grave concern how lack
of solutions for collection and handling of plastic has led to significant
damage to the environment, both on shore and in the sea around Indonesia,” said
Øyvind Frydenberg, CEO in Tinfos AS.
“By using Vow’s solutions for ‘Plastic to Electricity’, Tinfos AS wishes to
contribute to solving this challenge, and at the same time provide meaningful
jobs for local waste collectors in Indonesia,” he added.
Tinfos AS sees strong synergies between the company’s ongoing activities related
to development and operation of run-of-river powerplants in Indonesia and Vow’s
solutions. Indonesia comprises around 17 000 islands with a complex logistics,
which makes Vow’s ‘plug-and-play’ solutions particularly relevant.
