The company started up a plant in the Biobío Region that transforms the biogas extracted from a sanitary landfill into electricity.

Hidronor has three plants for waste treatment: one in Antofagasta; one in Pudahuel (the largest) and another plant in the municipality of Florida, near Concepción. "The coverage national and our wide capacity to receive industrial waste and dangerous, are differentiating attributes valued by our clients since more than 20 years ago ”, explains Gonzalo Velásquez, Environmental Manager of Hidronor.

En las instalaciones ubicadas en la Región del Biobío, además de un security deposit y planta de tratamiento de residuos peligrosos, Hidronor tiene un relleno sanitario que recibe residuos domiciliarios de tres comunas de la zona. De ellos, cerca del 50% son orgánicos y el resto, plásticos, vidrios, textiles, etc.  La fracción orgánica al ser dispuesta en un relleno sanitario está en un ambiente libre de oxígeno, por lo que su descomposición genera biogás. Adicionalmente, también contribuyen a la generación de biogás los residuos provenientes de la industria pesquera, de alimentos y lodos de plantas de tratamiento de aguas, con un alto contenido de materia orgánica.

The project carried out by Hidronor included within its focuses on optimizing the capture of the biogas generated, which caused the decrease in the generation of odors, contributing to the reduction of greenhouse gas emission.
