Slovnaft closer to permits for its €320m incinerator

An assessment commissioned by the Environment Ministry as part of the EIA process for a waste incinerator at the Slovnaft refinery recommended approving the project. Slovnaft plans to invest €320m in the incinerator, which would have a capacity of 220,000 tons per year. Critics fear waste imports from Hungary and increased pollution, while supporters argue it would reduce landfilling and strengthen energy security. Bratislava is modernizing its nearby incinerator, increasing capacity to 180,000 tons per year.
