EER builds waste melting facility in Romania

Environmental Energy Resources Ltd (EER), a division of the Israeli group Shrem Fudim Kelner, has signed a contract with a Romanian company to build the first waste melting facility using plasma-based technology, according to Jerusalem Post. The facility’s building costs are estimated at 30 million dollars. EER uses molten gas at temperatures between 1,400 and 7,000 degrees Celsius in a process called plasma gasification melting (PGM) to melt down municipal and household, medical and low-level radioactive waste. Shrem Fudim Kelner group holds an overall 55% stake in EER, together with Japanese and Korean partners. The remaining 45% of the shares are held by Israeli and foreign investors, as well as by three Russian researchers.
