Picture 40.: The Åby plant in Linköping<br />

(Chemical Engineering <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> Technology department KTH,. 2007)<br />

The <strong>organic</strong> <strong>waste</strong> from <strong>household</strong>s in Linköping is delivered to the <strong>waste</strong><br />

incinerati<strong>on</strong> plant Gärstad. The municipality of Linköping is resp<strong>on</strong>sible for the<br />

<strong>waste</strong> treatment <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> the company Tekniska Verken, owned by the municipality,<br />

is the owner of the incinerati<strong>on</strong> plant as well as the Åby biogas plant. By<br />

charging the <strong>waste</strong> treatment by weight, the <strong>household</strong>s are encouraged to do<br />

their own home composting. The biogas plant Åby receives <strong>organic</strong> <strong>waste</strong> from<br />

restaurants, instituti<strong>on</strong>al kitchens, slaughterhouses <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g> other industries. But<br />

due to the safe quality policy of Tekniska Verken the <strong>household</strong> <strong>waste</strong> is not<br />

received in the plant. It is difficult to secure the quality of <strong>household</strong> <strong>waste</strong>, <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

it needs to be quality assured to be used as fertilizer.<br />

The Gärstad treatment plant is owned by Tekniska Verken as well. There is a<br />

farm located close to the producti<strong>on</strong> plant, but the closest residential buildings<br />

are those in the city, 1 km away. In the other directi<strong>on</strong>s the distance are 1,5 <str<strong>on</strong>g>and</str<strong>on</strong>g><br />

3 km to the nearest residential building areas.
