C-Green is taking joint action with Waternet, a major Dutch wastewater treatment provider, and REYM Rotterdam, a leading Dutch waste handler, to increase circularity and reduce the climate impact of sludge handling.

The aim of the cooperation is to change the mind-set from seeing sludge as a problematic waste to recognizing it as a potential resource for useful and climate-smart products.
The cooperation will explore the feasibility of using OxyPower HTC™ biorefineries to achieve circular sludge handling in the Netherlands. At the beginning of 2023, C-Green’s mobile OxyPower HTC™ pilot plant will be set up at REYM Rotterdam to process and analyze Waternet sludge and industrial biosludge handled by REYM. The project will also evaluate local hydrochar applications that can reduce climate impact.
