Thanks to this interconnected system, fuel consumption at the power station can be cut by some 50,000 tons of coal and 10 million cubic metres of natural gas - savings which have not only a positive impact on the company's balance sheet but which also reduce emission and thus improve the air quality in the surrounding Tullnerfeld region.

Some 90% of the waste is delivered in special containers by rail , which adds a further bonus for the environment. Only the garbage from the immediate vicinity is shipped to the plant by trucks.
