In a nutshell:Facts, figures and data
Productivity, efficiency and sustainability are not a matter of faith, but can be clearly proven with hard figures – clearly laid out in black and white. On this page, we have compiled all the facts and data about GMVA for you in a clear format. We don’t find these figures dry or sober, but are proud of what they mean. Not least for the environment and energy supply. But see for yourself!

Limit values for emissions
The 17th Ordinance to the Federal Immission Control Act specifies precise limit values for flue gas-side pollutant levels. GMVA falls below every single one of them.

Emission values Complete overview
According to § 23 of the 17th Ordinance to the Federal Immission Control Act, as a waste incineration plant we are obliged to publish all emission values annually.

** only internal measurement; no transmission of the values via remote emission monitoring to the Düsseldorf district government.
