Rostec’s waste-to-energy plant helped avoid the emission of 500,000 tons of CO₂. The facility recovered more than 430,000 tons of waste during nine months of operation. Each ton of waste buried at landfills would result in CO₂ emissions of more than 1000 kg. 

From the date of launch of Rostec's waste-to-energy plant, CO₂ emissions in the amount 500,000 tons have been successfully prevented. To absorb this amount of greenhouse gases, approximately one year and 210,000 ha of pine forest or 130,000 ha of birch forest would have been required. 

Russia’s first state-of-the-art waste-to-energy plant built by Rostec State Corporation is located in Voskresensk urban district, Moscow region. The plant was put into operation at the end of December 2024. More than 2000 tons of solid municipal waste arrive daily to the facility from Moscow and Moscow region. This waste has been subjected to industrial separation and all useful fractions have been removed. Over the period of operation, the facility has recovered more than 430,000 tons of non-recyclable waste. At the same time the plant has generated 250 mln kW*h of green energy that has been supplied to users.
