CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION COMMISSIONING OF THE MECHANICAL BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT PLANT (MBT) KAHLENBERG – RESULTS OF A MONITORING RESEARCH PROJECT WHICH IS PROMOTED BY THE EC

Between October 2004 (laying of the foundation stone) and March 2006 (start of the cold startup), the Zweckverband Abfallbehandlung Kahlenberg (ZAK, Special Purpose Association for Waste Treatment Kahlenberg) constructed an MBT plant for a throughput of 100,000 Mg/a according to ZAK technology, developed by the ZAK. The warm start-up of the MBT took place from May 2006 onwards. The MBT Kahlenberg is located in south-west Germany, close to Freiburg.

The MBT Kahlenberg, put into operation in May 2006, eliminates hazardous and foreign material extremely effectively, and thereafter shreds the waste selectively and homogenizes it in a percolator by circulation and irrigation in a way that optimum characteristics for the subsequent biological drying process and material separation are obtained. Within this process, effluent water accumulates which is rich in organic substances, and which is used for the generation of biogas. Due to the homogeneous drying level, dry matter is generated that can be transformed into above average high-quality fuel which can be stored almost without timerestriction. Because of the abundance of innovations, the low emissions and the high fuel qualities gained, the construction of the MBT Kahlenberg was supported financially by the EU.

Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
