CO2 capture KVA Horgen

Environmental impact report (EIR)

The project

Entsorgung Zimmerberg (EZI) is planning to install a CO2 capture system (Carbon Capture CC) at the Horgen waste incineration plant. As the smallest waste incineration plant in Switzerland, KVA Horgen is predestined for a pilot plant in order to gain experience for the construction of further plants. The captured CO2 could be sold on the market for technical CO2, making the project independent of the progress of storage options. The CC plant is to be integrated into the existing waste incineration plant. As this is a significant change to a plant subject to an EIA, the environmental impact had to be examined and documented in an EIA report as part of the building permit procedure.
