The Bremerhaven waste disposal plant (MBA Bremerhaven for short) is a waste incineration plant in Bremerhaven .
history
The facility was planned in the early 1970s. The contract for this was signed in 1974 by Richard Boljahn - at the time authorized signatory of Neue Heimat - and Bremerhaven's Lord Mayor Bodo Selge . The Senate of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen created the legal basis for the approval in 1975 with a “Partial Waste Disposal Plan of the State of Bremen” . The power plant was put into operation in 1976. The operator was initially the non-profit waste disposal facility Bremerhaven GmbH , later the Bremerhaven disposal company . The current incinerator has three chimneys, each 85 m high. The combustion takes place in three boilers, each of which can theoretically provide up to 39 MW with grate firing. The entire system is located at the junction of the A 27 Bremerhaven-Mitte. The Grauer Wall landfill was set up to store the combustion residues . In the mid-1990s, a larger expansion project was started, after the implementation, the Bremerhaven- Leherheide district has been supplied with district heating since 1996 .
Over the years the waste throughput has increased again and again. In some cases, garbage was also delivered from the Ruhr area .
In connection with the operation there were also critical reports in the media - for example by Radio Bremen on June 4, 1982 in the broadcast Rundschau am Abend - which also caused a sensation in the Lower Saxony region. However, the responsible radio reporter Eike Besuden was accused of a lack of due diligence.
