Description

Auto-translated from German

KLAR GmbH (KLAR) - leading for the cooperation of KLAR GmbH, KVB GmbH and KSV OWL GmbH) - is conducting a market exploration procedure. From 2029, approximately 46,000 tons of ash from the incineration of municipal sewage sludge will be available from the aforementioned cooperation. These ashes are subject to the obligation of phosphorus recovery within the meaning of the AbfKlärV. Since it is expected that insufficient capacities for phosphorus recovery will be available from 2029, Klar GmbH is preparing long-term storage of the ashes in accordance with §3b 2029 Paragraph 3 as an alternative. It is expressly pointed out here that Klar GmbH will continue to strive for phosphorus recovery and will end storage as soon as recovery capacities are available to a technically and economically viable extent. According to the current market assessment, however, this will not be the case before 2035.
