Plant energy produced from tomato waste

Italian boiler producer and installation company Uniconfort designed, manufactured and installed two boilers at a food processing company in the Ivory Coast in Africa. Through its advanced technology, the food processing company is able to save about €1-millon each year as the two boilers are powered by production waste. Uniconfort designed a plant that is powered by two boilers capable of burning tomato hulls mixed with cashew hulls and local timber. With a short fuel supply chain at almost no cost, using materials which would have to be disposed of as waste, the waste products replace gas which has an extremely high cost in the Ivory Coast.
