Source of sustainability and energy

Achieving more together with smart solutions for sustainability and energy. That is the basis on which Twence was established by fourteen municipalities in Twente. With a common vision for waste processing, the organisation has developed since 1986 into a figurehead and source of inspiration in the field of the circular economy in the east of the Netherlands.

Twence’s innovative plants achieve an extremely high energy efficiency so that it is attractive for customers in the Netherlands, Germany and England to make use of the services and products of Twence. The renewable energy we generate from residual streams and biomass is a source for regional energy-intensive activity involving smart cooling and heating. And we provide renewable heat and electricity to thousands of households. Converted into households, this involves the electricity for a good 164,000 households, heat for more than 49,000 households, and annual avoidance of CO2 emissions of 344,000 tonnes due to the reduced use of fossil fuels. These figures will increase further in the coming years!
