Project Overview
Estonian petrochemicals manufacturer Novotrade Invest has announced plans to build an oil waste processing plant in Kohtla-Järve, marking the first facility of its kind in Estonia. The plant aims to recycle waste generated by oil refineries, fuel depots, and tankers, converting it into various forms of liquid fuel.
Processing Capacity
The facility will have the capacity to process up to 50,000 tons of waste per year. Given that this capacity exceeds Estonia's domestic waste production, additional raw material will be imported from neighboring countries, including Poland, Belarus, and Finland.
Construction Timeline
Construction of the plant is scheduled to begin in the summer of 2012, with completion expected by 2014. This timeline underscores the company's commitment to advancing waste processing capabilities in the region.
