Vitoria-Gasteiz Zero Zabor denounces the construction of an incinerator in Álava with European funds

  • The Gasteiz Zero Zabor association has denounced this Friday, 27 November, that the Basque Government and the Council of Álava want to build a new incinerator of urban waste in this territory, using the European Next Generation EU Fund for this purpose. It appears that this is a renewable hydrogen production project through the 'valorisation' of urban waste.

The Naiz media echoed Gasteiz Zero Zabor's warning: The Basque Government has in its plan the construction of a new incinerator in Álava, supported by the Provincial Council of this territory and financed by the European Fund Next Generation EU. Last August the Basque Government drew up the Framework Programme for Sustainable Growth and Employment and, on behalf of the Government, the consultant PwC has drawn up a list of projects to present Next Generation EU in the European Fund and the Álava incinerator project is part of them.

Zero Zabor de Vitoria-Gasteiz has denounced that with the production of ‘renewable’ hydrogen the Basque Government and the Diputación intend to build a new infrastructure for the management of urban waste in Álava, with an initial cost of 20 million euros.
