We are building a recycling plant in Högbytorp, where we will be integrating material and energy recovery in a unique, efficient and sustainable way, generating electricity, heat, biogas and bio-fertiliser from waste products.
Stockholm is one of Europe’s fastest growing metropolitan regions. On average, the region’s population grows by 34 400 people per year*. More people mean more energy consumption and more waste. With the recycling plant in Högbytorp, we contribute to a sustainable growth by transforming something nobody wants – waste – into something everybody wants – energy and nutrients.

The recycling plant, which consists of a biogas plant and a combined heat and power plant (CHP), has a strategic location in Högbytorp, northwest of Stockholm. We’re focusing on both costumer’s requirements and societal needs when we provide the basis for the next generation’s sustainable system solutions. Facts Total investment: 265 million euros Total annual production of energy: 650 GWh Total annual production of bio-fertiliser: 60 000 tonnes
At the recycling plant at Högbytorp, the annual production of energy is 650 GWh, of which:
This corresponds to:
average houses
66,000 normal-sized apartments
”The world’s resources are under enormous
sustainable way to make sure that there will be sufficient resources for the planet’s increasing population. Everything that is produced must be re-used several times. Ideally, nothing should be wasted. A circular economy – that is what the recycling plant in Högbytorp is about.”
Stefan Håkansson, Director Global City Solutions, E.ON SE
The waste hierarchy, which has been decided by the EU, sets out the priority
In a circular economy, the lifespan of products is prolonged as long as possible, and waste is transformed into valuable resources. In the recycling plant in Högbytorp we integrate material and energy recovery, and rejected residual products are converted into electricity, heating and biogas.
A CHP plant produces electricity and heat at the same time. In the CHP at Högbytorp the energy from the waste will be put to efficient use.
This is how it works:
products, makes water boil and produce steam.
generator which creates into electric power.
the district heating network.

The biogas plant in Högbytorp transforms food waste and other
alternative to petrol and diesel. Biogas contributes to reducing the amount of carbon dioxide emission from vehicles. In the production of biogas, bio- fertiliser, which can be used to enrich the soil in ecological or conventional agriculture, is also produced.
Agriculture Biogas Bio-fertiliser Forest Organic food Organic waste Manure and residues Biogas (fuel)
The collected waste is pre-treated by opening packages and making the organic material available. The material is then slowly transported into three digesters. The biogas plant in Högbytorp is able to process 75 000 tons of material/year.
Types of substrate expected to be treated at Högbytorp (approximately)
Food industry Food waste Waste from parks and gardens Industrial waste Horse manure
… a bag of household food waste can produce enough energy to fuel a car for 3 kilometers? … by replacing petrol with E.ON’s Biogas 100, you decrease your carbon dioxide emissions by 90 percent? … bio-fertiliser replaces mineral fertiliser, hence reducing the need of virgin phosphorous? … thanks to a certification*, bio-fertiliser can be used in organic farming?

In addition to the recycling plant in Högbytorp, we are building an approx. 25 km long district heating line that connects our grids in Upplands-Bro and Järfälla. With a joint grid we can phase out older district heating plants. The new grid can both provide heat and receive deliveries from customers who produce their own energy – so-called prosumers.
In 2020, the Högbytorp recycling plant will be fully operational. We will then be equipped with a climate-smart energy and resource solution in one of the fastest growing regions in Sweden – an important step towards a more sustainable future. For more information, visit eon.se/hogbytorp
