Tapping point for district heat extraction
Our system:
economically sound. The ope-
rating profit in 2011 is evidence
of the high energy and material
utilisation of the treated waste
and biomass. The best long-term
proof of the effective exploitation
of waste for energy lies in the fact
that we have reliably covered the
base load requirements for district
heating in Hamburg since 1994. It
has also been possible to meet the
ambitious targets to make the bio-
mass CHP plant economically effi-
cient. We hope to achieve even greater
economic efficiency under the auspi-
ces of Vattenfall Europe New Energy
GmbH, by collaborating even more clo-
sely with our „sister companies“ MVR
Müllverwertung Rugenberger Damm
GmbH & Co. KG (MVR) and VERA
Klärschlammverbrennung GmbH (VERA).
More intensive cooperation, the exchange
of information and opinions, and the collec-
tive deployment of personnel in some areas
enable us to work even more effectively, to
make use of our combined expertise and to
save on costs. This helps us to achieve our
targets for environmental protection and
occupational safety.
MVB has published annual environmental state-
ments since 1996. The present environmental
statement meets the requirements of the eco-
audit directive and will continue to be updated in
the future.
Since 2003, Müllverwertung Borsigstraße GmbH has been an
approved environment partner of the Urban Development and
Environment Agency (Behörde für Stadtentwicklung und Umwelt)
of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. In 2011, MVB was a
partner in the „Environment partnership programme: Project
2011“ as part of the „Hamburg - European Green Capital“ initia-
tive, see page 29.
The business strategy of MVB is the thermal treatment of waste
and biomass at a low cost and with maximum availability. Our
aim is to use our plants on the Borsigstraße site to generate
district heating and electricity and to produce recyclable
materials, thus largely preventing waste. High standards of
security, occupational safety and environmental compatibili-
ty must be maintained during this process. In this way we
combine good economic and ecological sense!2

Following energy recovery in
the form of electricity and heat,
the remaining waste substances
are turned into products as much
as possible. By using the best avai-
lable technologies, in the course of
thermal recovery and flue gas treat-
ment we produce residual materials
of high quality, which are then fed
back into the business cycle.
Our employees have a duty to act in a
responsible manner with regard to occupational safety and plant safety. Training
and induction programmes take place on a regular basis. Safety-oriented wor-
king methods protect employees and the environment by minimising acci-
dents and disruptions to operations that may cause emissions of harmful
substances.
Giving priority to plant safety, occupational safety and environmen-
tal protection consistently ensures a high level of plant availabi-
lity, thus improving the efficiency of material and energy utili-
sation. High availability also means lower requirements for
primary energy and thus further reduces CO2. Operations
at MVB are effluent-free, use few raw materials and
comply with a high standard of noise control.
Needless to say, there is strict adherence to all
laws, guidelines and regulations for the protec-
tion of the environment. The environmental
policy of MVB is designed to maintain high
standards and to remedy any existing
weaknesses.
Keeping employees, the general
public, the experts and the
supervisory authorities acti-
vely and openly informed is
an integral part of our
environmental policy.
Excellent
environmen-
tal and occu-
pational safety
Thermal waste
treatment meets sub-
stantially higher envi-
ronmental requirements
than other systems and thus
is a convincing alternative, par-
ticularly in ecological terms.
Waste incineration provides enough
heating for around 54,000 homes. In
2010, a steam turbine was put into ope-
ration to cover a proportion of our own
electricity requirements. Some of the steam
generated in the domestic refuse incineration
line is expanded and then re-used in-house. This
allows approximately 12,600 Mg CO2 to be saved
annually. Constructed as the third line in 2005, the
biomass CHP plant supplies approximately 160,000
MWh of CO2-neutral electricity. Fossil fuels are replaced
by renewable primary products (such as wood, paper etc.),
thus making vital contributions to climate conservation.

Our facility lies east of the city of Hamburg in the
Hamburg-Billbrook industrial zone. It is bordered by
Borsigstraße to the north, by railway tracks to the east
and by the premises of AVG Abfall-Verwertungs-
Gesellschaft mbH to the south and west.
The area of land owned by MVB amounts to 68,135 m2
in total, of which approximately 61,300 m2 are develo-
ped.
MVB is set up to handle an annual throughput of
around 320,000 Mg of residential waste. Energy is
recovered from this mass in two incineration lines,
each with a grate firing system and a steam generator,
each in turn with an hourly throughput of 21.5 Mg of
waste.
Energy in the form of heat is released in the combu-
stion gases during the burning of the waste. This heat
is used to turn the completely desalinated water (con-
densate) into steam inside the steam generator; this is
then released into the local district heating system.
Some of the heat generated is used to cover MVB's
own requirements.

Systems engineering waste recovery
Rubbish has what it takes: energy and raw materials
Flow chart (see p. 34)
Flue gas purification starts inside the boiler in tandem with combustion and ener-
gy recovery, thanks to the design of an optimised incineration process. Nitrogen
oxides are converted into elemental nitrogen and water by the injection of
ammonia water in the SNCR method. There is a flue gas purification system
downstream of each incineration line. Furnace coke is added to the flue gas
after its discharge from the boiler. Heavy metals and organic compounds
accumulate in the furnace coke. Dust particles from the flue gas and
the laden coke are deposited on the surface of the hose on the
fibrous filter and disposed of.
In order to separate the readily soluble halogen compounds
from chlorine, fluorine, bromine and iodine, the flue gas
undergoes further purification as it passes through the
two-stage HCl scrubber into which water is injected.
The noxious gases are dissolved in the many dro-
plets of water and thus removed from the flue
gas.
Lime milk is used in the subsequent single-
stage SO2 scrubber to bind the sulphur
oxides (SO2/SO3). These react with
sulphur compounds in the flue gas
to form calcium sulphate, better
known as gypsum.
The results of emission
measurements are
shown on page 17.
5
Sorting and post-processing: The biomass fuel (quality-assured scrap wood in classes A1 - A4)
is delivered in the form of wood chips, brought from the supplies hall and tipped into the wood
bunker. The wood chips are post-processed in disc screens to separate the oversized pieces and
in magnetic screens to remove iron particles. The removed impurities are reprocessed
separately. Chain trough conveyors transport the fuel to the dosing silo.
More conveyor systems take it from here to the boiler.
Incineration: During combustion in the circulating fluidized bed boi-
ler, air is blown into the solid fuel (wood chips) and the bed
material (inert, i.e. no longer reactive, sand with ash com-
ponents) from below via the wind box, so that it is loo-
sened and almost completely carried away by the
vertical flow of gas.
Consistent combustion occurs during the upward
movement at a temperature of � 850 °C. The hot flue gases and the particles car-
ried along then flow through the hot gas cyclone, where centrifugal force separates the
coarse components from the flue gas and feeds them back into the fluidized bed combusti-
on system. The heat from the material and the flue gas is used to produce hot steam
(500 °C, 90 bar). The two superheaters in the flue gas flow and the two in the layer of
sand (Intrex) are used, among other things, for this purpose.
Energy generation: The steam produced in the fluidized bed boiler is used in the steam
turboset to generate 20 MW of electricity. The condensing turbine has an interposed
gear unit to drive a 10 kV generator. The steam is condensed inside an air condenser.
It is possible to extract up to 20 Mg/h of heat energy in the form of steam. There is
a diagram of the sequence of processes in the biomass CHP plant (line 3) on
page 32.

Systems engineering biomass CHP plant
The biomass CHP plant: how it works
Flow chart (see p. 32)
Flue gas purification: The entrained-flow adsorption method is used to treat flue gases. Coarse
particles are separated out in two cyclones. The remaining dust-like and gaseous harmful substances
contained in the flue gas are separated out according to the principle of conditioned dry sorption by
using a rotor in conjunction with a fibrous filter. The flue gas purification plant is next to the induced
draught fan and the 80-metre high chimney. Emission measuring equipment is located in the clean
gas channel between fan and chimney. The results of emission measurements in line 3 are shown on
page 18. The residues from combustion and flue gas purification are collected in two residue silos
and duly disposed of by external specialist companies in accordance with regulations.
7
The steam supplied by MVB serves to ensure
that base load network supplies are covered.
Biomass recovery: Scrap wood chips are
used for heat recovery in the MVB biomass
CHP plant (line 3). The calorific value depends
on the quality of the fuel. On average it is
around 13 MJ/kg.
The steam is superheated in the line 3 fluidized
bed boiler to produce 20 MW (20,000 kW) of
electricity by means of a condensing turbine.
Waste recovery: The energy
released during recovery is mainly
used to produce thermal heat. The
volume and quality of the waste
supplied play a major role here.
Most of the residual waste supplied to
MVB consists of combustible material
and has a similar calorific value to
lignite (energy content). The line 1 and
2 steam generators are designed to
take waste with calorific values ranging
from 6.5 to 12 MJ/kg. By way of compa-
rison, lignite has a calorific value of
approximately 10 MJ/kg.
The heat produced during incineration is
used to generate steam from fully desali-
nated water. The steam generators at MVB
reach a very high efficiency rate of around
87 %.
A small portion of the steam is used to gene-
rate electricity for our own requirements. The
remaining steam is fed into the local district
heating network in the form of heating steam
via Tiefstack power plant.

A small portion of the electricity produced is used to cover our own require-
ments. The remaining electricity is transformed from 10 kV to 110 kV and fed
into the local high voltage network. The legislative authorities have given
priority to the marketing of renewable energies in order to facilitate
sustainable energy supplies in the interests of climate protection and
environmental conservation. Payment is made for the power fed
into the grid by MVB on this legal basis.
It is possible to extract up to 20 Mg/h of heat energy in the
form of steam. The first phase of construction for
district heat extraction started up in December 2011.
It is possible to feed 632 Mg of steam into the
district heating network.
A new district heating line designed to
optimise the hydraulic connector is
being built in 2012 on the MVB site at
the thermoforming plant in
Borsigstraße (see page 28).

During waste incineration and flue gas treatment at
MVB, the following materials are produced in marketa-
ble quality: slag, metal scrap, acid and gypsum.
Slag: The non-combustible components of waste and the
inert materials produced during incineration are known
generally as grate ash and slag. This slag is washed in more
water in the slag remover on discharge in order to reduce the
content of readily soluble salts. The slag is then broken up and
sieved. Scrap iron and non-iron metals are separated out during
slag treatment and re-used as primary products in metallurgical
works. The end product thus achieved yields a fully tested and
licensed building material, similar to a mineral compound made of
treated building waste and natural products.
Our slag is of high quality as a result of wet scrubbing and costly
mechanical handling. The soluble salt content is comparatively low and
the residual removable metal content is virtually 0 %.
The slag meets the relevant current technical guidelines and terms of deli-
very and is used predominantly to build roads and sidewalks. In 2011 it was
possible to market it all via Hanseatisches Schlackenkontor
(www.schlackenkontor.de).
Scrap iron: Only a small amount of slag sticks to the scrap, which is extracted
by magnets. This is how the scrap produced by MVB meets the standards of
purity required by scrap merchants for scrap from waste incineration plants and
can be re-used in steelmaking without hesitation.
10
Materials: for the buildingtrade and industry
Material products
By-products (see p. 34)
Non-iron metals: An eddy current method is used to isolate and
recover well over 90 % of the non-ferrous (not extractable by
magnet) metals from the slag. These metals are predominantly alu-
minium, copper and brass, with some chrome steel as well. The scrap
mixture is handed over to an external company.
Hydrochloric acid: The acid wash produces 10 to 12 % raw hydrochloric
acid during flue gas purification. This is refined into 30 % hydrochloric
acid (HCI) in a rectification system independent of the incineration plant.
Unwanted inorganic and organic impurities are isolated during several treat-
ment phases, before HCI gas is produced from the pretreated acid in a distil-
lation process. Precise operation of the HCl rectification system and stringent
controls ensure that the quality of the hydrochloric acid complies with
DIN EN 939.
Gypsum: A gypsum suspension is discharged from the SO2 wet scrubber and gypsum
is extracted from this. In order to remove readily soluble salts, the gypsum is washed
in a centrifuge and its moisture content reduced to under 10 %. The quality of the gyp-
sum produced is very good. Since operations began, the parameters to be monitored
have always been considerably lower than the guide values given in a study on FGD
gypsum (gypsum from power station flue gas desulphurisation systems) and
natural gypsum. It is supplied to the building industry for the produc-
tion of gypsum plaster.
11
Waste supply L 1/L2
Incineration serves not only to dispose safely of waste, it also pro-
vides considerable amounts of thermal heat. Apart from usable
energy, most of which is CO2-neutral (the biogenic proportion is
around 60 %), the recovered resources (iron and non-iron
metals) and products also make a contribution to a positive cli-
mate balance.
In 2011, MVB accepted 333,641 Mg of waste, thus exceeding
the designated volume of 320,000 Mg/a.
The volume of waste supplied has developed as follows:

and around Hamburg. Construction timber (e.g. roof trusses, windows, doors) and sorted
bulk items are processed into wood chips.
In 2011, 159,814 Mg of class A1 - A4 scrap wood chips (without oversized particles) were
delivered.
MVB is allowed to accept hazardous waste with the following waste code numbers for
the biomass CHP plant:

Residual waste:playing it safe
Harmful substances from refuse and biomass (scrap wood), which cannot be
made to simply disappear by means of thermal waste recovery, are concen-
trated in a small residual waste fraction as much as possible. These residu-
es are securely and correctly stored underground with the utmost care.
Dust: The whole amount of dust and ashes extracted in the boilers and
during flue gas treatment is used and recycled as a fill material in salt
mines. Only small amounts of cleaning residues have to be dumped in a
landfill.
Fine combustion bed ash: The sand used in fluidized bed combustion
is taken to an above-ground site for professional disposal and recy-
cling. It is used to seal the surfaces of landfill sites or to revegetate
them.
Coarse combustion bed ash: The coarse components (e.g. stones,
metal parts, deposits) collected in the sand bed of the fluidized bed
boiler are continuously extracted and re-used as alternative land-
fill construction materials.
Residual waste L3 (see p. 32)
Environmental factors
Calcium chloride salts: Calcium chloride occurs in solid form in the
hydrochloric acid rectification system. Halogens such as bromine, iodine
and fluorine in particular, but also ammonia compounds are extracted
during the processing of materials by the calcium chloride salts and
safely deposited in depleted salt caverns.
Raw acid: Apart from a small amount, it was possible in 2011 to distill
all the 10 to 12 % raw hydrochloric acid into 30 % hydrochloric acid.

Residual waste L1/L2 (see p. 34)
Emissions by MVB remain at a very low level. Some of the mea-
sured values lie below their respective detection limit. The emis-
sion loads and the specific (volume-related) values were well below
permitted levels (cf. graphics) in 2011 as well. Virtually all the per-
mitted load is utilised for the nitrogen oxides alone (L1/2: approx.
90 % and L3: approx. 64 %). Apart from this, levels of utilisation lie
between approx. 4 % and approx. 29 %. It must be noted at the same
time that some MVB limit values are significantly lower than the legally
prescribed values designated in the 17th Federal Emission Control Act
(BImSchV). With correspondingly low emission volumes, every anomaly
leads to comparatively high percentage changes.
A detailed illustration of MVB emissions can be found on our homepage
(www.mvb-hh.de).16

* No measurable emissions in 2011.The measurements are essentiallywithin the detection limit of themeasuring equipment.
As a result of improvements in plant
engineering (including combustion
performance control), it was possible
to further reduce the use of primary
energy - heating oil - compared with the
previous year.
Of the steam produced in the two waste
incineration lines in 2011, 255,464 MWh
was used for our own needs to operate
auxiliary plants (e.g. HCl treatment plant,
cold water unit etc.) and 698,458 MWh
was supplied to the district heating
system.
In 2011, electricity consumption for the
operation of the two waste recovery lines
was 32,361 MWh and for Line 3 (biomass
CHP plant) 13,854 MWh. Our own electrici-
ty generation plant produced 23,695 MWh.
The regenerative portion of all the electrici-
ty purchased was 31.5 %.
For various reasons MVB must also use primary
energy (heating oil) as well as waste and biomass.
If necessary, heating oil is used to guarantee the
requisite minimum combustion temperature in
the boilers and to ensure that the boiler plants
can be heated and started up following downti-
mes in a controlled manner that produces few
emissions.

Operating resources include all the materials that are required to maintain
processes. The use of essential operating resources for lines 1 and 2 can be
seen on page 34, and for line 3 on page 32.
Water: MVB's concept for all three incineration lines is based, among other
things, on an effluent-free industrial water cycle. Water is only discharged into the
public sewage network (after previous analysis) if the capacity of the rainwater
retention basin is exhausted as a result of exceptionally heavy rainfall. Sewage is
discharged into the public sewer. Total water consumption on all three lines is shown
in the table below. Water for firefighting can be taken from the Tiefstack canal in the
event of fire.

Operating resources: no more than necessary
Operating resources L1/L2 (see p. 34)
In contrast to lines 1 and 2, sand is needed for biomass incineration (line 3).
This serves as a heat transfer medium and ensures optimal burnout during
combustion in the circulating fluidized bed boiler. The quality of the sand and,
above all, the grain size distribution are vital to the transfer of heat from the fur-
nace to the evaporating water. It is essential to replace the sand regularly due to
impurities in the wood chips (e.g. nails, hardware, stones). To do this, part of the
sand is extracted from the lower area of the boiler and replaced with new sand, or
the used sand is sifted and partly fed back into the cycle. The combustion bed ash
that is no longer usable is recycled. We check the combustion bed ash regularly to
ensure that we replace only as much sand as is necessary.
21
Operating resources L3 (see p. 32)
MVB is located east
of the city of Hamburg in
the Hamburg-Billbrook indu-
strial zone. Noise emissions are
relatively high around this industrial
zone with its high volume of traffic. MVB is
well within all the relevant noise limits of the
Workplace Ordinance (Arbeitsstättenverordnung),
both within the boundaries of its site and indoors.
In 2011, operations were interrupted a total of 21 times on the
two waste incineration lines (L1/L2), including 2 planned stoppages
on each incineration line (inspections). Records show 13 interruptions to
operations (including 2 planned stoppages) at the biomass CHP plant (L3).
None of the unplanned stoppages were hazardous incidents as defined by the
German statutory order on hazardous incidents and they had no repercussions bey-
ond the boundaries of the plant. It was possible to rectify the consequences of the
technical faults without any problem. None of the faults had a detrimental impact
on the environment.
No serious accidents occurred at work in the year 2011.
Noise, disturbances, accidents:everything under control
22
Environmental factors
MVB operations have not only had direct consequences for the envi-
ronment - as already described - but also indirect ones. An overall review
of environmental matters was therefore carried out with the approval of MVB.
It is on this basis that MVB continuously tracks all the environmental aspects of its
activities in line with the EU directive:
a) The direct environmental impacts are balanced annually and their progress tracked on an
ongoing basis.
b) The indirect environmental impacts include noise emissions by external delivery vehicles.
Sanitation department of Hamburg only uses low-noise, low-emission vehicles pursuant to
article 49 app. XXI road traffic licensing regulations (StVZO) and Directive 92/97 EEC. The
sanitation department of Hamburg thus meets the basic requirements of „Der blaue
Engel“ (The Blue Angel) environmental label. 23
Delivery vehicles:quieter is better
In keeping with the idea of being proactive rather than reactive („Agieren statt reagieren“), MVB's active pro-
tection of the environment makes a vital contribution to the conservation of our natural resources and to the
security of our organisation. In order to achieve this aim MVB has an integrated management system, which
applies occupational safety and risk management practices with due consideration for the
requirements of environmental conservation, and which continues
to be developed on an ongoing basis.
All employees make an active contribution to environmental conservation and occupational safety
measures. It is ensured that there is due compliance with legal, official and in-house requirements on
two operational levels.
Level 1: Working procedure documents set down the following in writing: basic principles; integrated
management; environmental policy, targets and programmes; guidelines on occupational safety and
health protection („Arbeitssicherheit und Gesundheitsschutz“); regulation of set-up and processes;
allocation of responsibilities and powers.
Level 2: Operation instructions; instructions in the event of hazardous incident; detailed regulations
on work flows and actions.
The Technical Director assumes overall responsibility for environmental protection at MVB. He is
responsible for developing, implementing and observing the relevant legal and official requirements
for environmental protection and occupational health and safety. Various instruments of support
24
Management system
Safeguarding Success:Systematic Management
have been introduced at MVB, including an environment committee, an occupational safety commit-
tee and regular training and induction programmes. The suggestions and ideas scheme and the invol-
vement of the Works Council continue to be important for overall success. The Director delegates
essential management responsibilities in this area to the Head of Operations Control, who assumes
the role of hazardous incident and emissions control officer at the same time. He is responsible for
the structure, maintenance and ongoing development of the environment and safety management
system. He deals with the appointments of officers required by law and coordinates the activities of
external officers.
Other employees are appointed to be in charge of radiation protection and matters relating to occu-
pational safety. MVB has appointed external personnel to fill the roles of hazardous goods officer and
occupational safety specialist. The established committees provide advice on and monitor the
accomplishment of tasks and make sure that the workforce and the Works Council are duly involved.
25
A company policy along the lines of the policy
of Vattenfall Europe AG has been drawn up to
stress the fact that occupational safety and
health protection are a priority at MVB.
Corporate philosophy
Occupational safety and health protection are key
elements of corporate culture at Müllverwertung
Borsigstraße GmbH. Our working environment is
characterised by responsibility, openness and
respect for the individual. Everyone who works at
MVB has the opportunity to develop both personal-
ly and professionally within a safe, healthy and sti-
mulating environment. An important aspect of our
corporate policy is to be a leading company in the
fields of occupational safety and health protection. A
continuous improvement process ensures ongoing
high standards of quality in matters of health and
safety.
Our commitment to health and safety finds its expressi-
on in the following principles:
• Occupational health and safety are incorporated within
our corporate strategy and help to safeguard the welfare
of employees and, as a result, the economic success of the
company.
• We act in accordance with relevant legal requirements
and industry standards.
• Each one of our managers and the employees themselves
are responsible for protecting the people who work for the
company from accidents and health hazards.
• All our employees have the knowledge, understanding and
freedom for working safely.
26
Occupational safety, health protection
Safety management: „SAFE in MVB“
Concrete objectives and guidelines have been laid down for policy
implementation:
Targets
A) Occupational safety:
At MVB we believe that any accident is preventable. We do not restrict our-
selves to accidents that must be reported. Based on the trend in accident
statistics in recent years, there can only be one target for MVB: 0 accidents.
We hope to achieve this by means of:
• Direct investigation into, and assessment of, near-accidents and minor
accidents
• Regular information on current accident statistics on a notice on the safety
information board
• Consistent implementation of monthly briefings
• Implementation of in-house training courses/action days with greatest
possible participation
• Continuation of the „moderated hazard assessment“ concept by direct line
managers with their staff
• Continuation of a staff bonus for 365 days of accident-free working
B) Health protection:
Reduction of sick days due, for example, to common colds and increase in health
awareness.
We hope to achieve this by means of:
• Prompt information on the exact date for free flu vaccination
• Provision of massages
• Continuation of offer of free attendance at courses to stop smoking
• Offer of free weekly exercise class
Review
In 2006, the MVB management system was reviewed in matters of occupational health and
safety by Hamburg's Office for Occupational Safety (Amt für Arbeitsschutz der Hansestadt
Hamburg). The repeat audit by the chemical industry
employers liability insurance association took place at the
end of 2009*. Both institutions came to the conclusion that
the system meets the requirements of the health and safety
guidelines of the chemical industry employers liability insuran-
ce association (BG Chemie)/OHSAS 18001:2007 and the
Hamburg occupational safety model and that it is practised
throughout the company.

It goes without saying that MVB complies with the highest standards of environmental pro-
tection. But there is nothing that cannot be further improved. This is why we are always see-
king opportunities to improve environmental impact even further and to detect and elimina-
te any weak points. Environmental targets and programmes will continue to be annually
updated in the future. Our efforts are focused mainly on the following areas and subjects:
Energy savings: Another compressor in the compressed air production system is to be fitted
with a frequency converter. Energy savings of approx. 240,000 kWh/a are expected. The project
could be completed by the end of 2011.
MVB is investigating whether existing mercury vapour lamps (400 W each) can be replaced by
LED lights. Among others, mercury vapour lamps are installed in the tipping hall, the refuse bun-
ker, the slag storage facility and outdoors. The first mercury vapour lamps are due to be replaced
by LED lights in the M workshop in 2012. Due to the adverse ambient conditions in the aforemen-
tioned areas, there are plans to review the operating experience of other plants prior to changeo-
ver. (2012, Head of Operations)
Climate protection: The first phase of construction for district heat extraction from line 3 started
in December 2011. It was possible to supply 552 MWh of steam produced by CO2-neutral means into
the district heating network. A district heating circular pipeline designed to optimise the hydraulic
connector is being built in 2012 on the MVB site at the thermoforming plant in Borsigstraße. It is desi-
gned to feed approx. 118 GWh/a of district heating into the grid. This saves around 23,600 Mg of CO2 a
year when compared with the production of district heating in a CHP plant. (2012, Head of Operations)
Air quality control: Work was started in 2010 to replace the three diesel forklift trucks operated at MVB
with electric ones. One forklift was replaced by an electric forklift truck in 2010. This enabled around
10 Mg of CO2 a year to be saved. Noise and additional exhaust emissions were reduced at the same time.
One diesel forklift truck was scrapped in 2011. The last diesel forklift truck is due to be replaced by an elec-
tric one in 2012. (2012, Head of Operations)
Conservation of resources: A disproportionately large number of work gloves made of leather was used
in 2009. A poster campaign was used to bring down the rate of consumption.
Around 38 % fewer leather work gloves were used in 2010. The campaign was extended to the multi-pur-
pose gloves used at MVB.
The use of work gloves decreased further in 2011. In 2011, around 45 % fewer leather gloves were used
than in 2009 and around 40 % fewer multi-purpose gloves than in 2010. The poster campaign is set to
be continued in subsequent years. This brings the project to completion.
In March 2011, MVB brought in two blue bins („Blaue Tonne“) for the collection of paper and card. The col-
lected material is given to WERT Wertstoff-Einsammlung GmbH, a subsidiary of Hamburg's public sanita-
tion department (Stadtreinigung Hamburg), for recycling. In 2011, around 70 m3 of paper and card were
collected and sent for recycling. The collection is set to be continued in subsequent years. This brings the
project to completion.

Since 2003, Müllverwertung Borsigstraße GmbH has
been an approved environmental partner of the Urban
Development and Environment Agency (Behörde für
Stadtentwicklung und Umwelt (BSU)) of the Free and
Hanseatic City of Hamburg. In 2011, MVB was a partner in
the „Environment partnership programme: Project 2011“ as
part of the „Hamburg - European Green Capital“ initiative.
The following measures have been approved by the BSU
within the framework of the environmental partnership:
• Long-standing award of the EMAS certificate (Eco-
Management and Audit Scheme run by the EU) by an external
environmental auditor and certification under DIN ISO 14001
• The optimisation of compressed air supplies
- reduction of required pressure levels
- purchase of two new heat-regenerative adsorption dryers
to replace two cold-regenerative dryers
- reduction of compressed air consumption for the acoustic
temperature measurement system
- it was possible to save around 1,000,000 kWh/a of electricity
• Commissioning of a 3MWel steam turbine plant for our own electricity
production. The steam is expanded in the turbine and used again in the
downstream plants.
Around 12,600 Mg of CO2/a is saved in this way.

Our system:
economically sound. The ope-
rating profit in 2011 is evidence
of the high energy and material
utilisation of the treated waste
and biomass. The best long-term
proof of the effective exploitation
of waste for energy lies in the fact
that we have reliably covered the
base load requirements for district
heating in Hamburg since 1994. It
has also been possible to meet the
ambitious targets to make the bio-
mass CHP plant economically effi-
cient. We hope to achieve even greater
economic efficiency under the auspi-
ces of Vattenfall Europe New Energy
GmbH, by collaborating even more clo-
sely with our „sister companies“ MVR
Müllverwertung Rugenberger Damm
GmbH & Co. KG (MVR) and VERA
Klärschlammverbrennung GmbH (VERA).
More intensive cooperation, the exchange
of information and opinions, and the collec-
tive deployment of personnel in some areas
enable us to work even more effectively, to
make use of our combined expertise and to
save on costs. This helps us to achieve our
targets for environmental protection and
occupational safety.
MVB has published annual environmental state-
ments since 1996. The present environmental
statement meets the requirements of the eco-
audit directive and will continue to be updated in
the future.
Since 2003, Müllverwertung Borsigstraße GmbH has been an
approved environment partner of the Urban Development and
Environment Agency (Behörde für Stadtentwicklung und Umwelt)
of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. In 2011, MVB was a
partner in the „Environment partnership programme: Project
2011“ as part of the „Hamburg - European Green Capital“ initia-
tive, see page 29.
The business strategy of MVB is the thermal treatment of waste
and biomass at a low cost and with maximum availability. Our
aim is to use our plants on the Borsigstraße site to generate
district heating and electricity and to produce recyclable
materials, thus largely preventing waste. High standards of
security, occupational safety and environmental compatibili-
ty must be maintained during this process. In this way we
combine good economic and ecological sense!2

Our system:
economically sound. The ope-
rating profit in 2011 is evidence
of the high energy and material
utilisation of the treated waste
and biomass. The best long-term
proof of the effective exploitation
of waste for energy lies in the fact
that we have reliably covered the
base load requirements for district
heating in Hamburg since 1994. It
has also been possible to meet the
ambitious targets to make the bio-
mass CHP plant economically effi-
cient. We hope to achieve even greater
economic efficiency under the auspi-
ces of Vattenfall Europe New Energy
GmbH, by collaborating even more clo-
sely with our „sister companies“ MVR
Müllverwertung Rugenberger Damm
GmbH & Co. KG (MVR) and VERA
Klärschlammverbrennung GmbH (VERA).
More intensive cooperation, the exchange
of information and opinions, and the collec-
tive deployment of personnel in some areas
enable us to work even more effectively, to
make use of our combined expertise and to
save on costs. This helps us to achieve our
targets for environmental protection and
occupational safety.
MVB has published annual environmental state-
ments since 1996. The present environmental
statement meets the requirements of the eco-
audit directive and will continue to be updated in
the future.

approved environment partner of the Urban Development and
Environment Agency (Behörde für Stadtentwicklung und Umwelt)
of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg. In 2011, MVB was a
partner in the „Environment partnership programme: Project

tive, see page 29.
