Plasco Energy Group is a private Canadian waste conversion and energy generation company based in Ottawa, Canada. PlascoEnergy builds, owns and operates Plasco Conversion System facilities that use our proprietary world-leading technology to convert municipal household, commercial or industrial waste into green power and other valuable products. The company has more than 100 employees from engineering to plant delivery and we’re growing fast. Led by an experienced team of senior executives PlascoEnergy knows how to deliver successful projects that earn the support of the whole community.
PlascoEnergy works to assume all risk so that municipalities don’t have to. Our facilities charge competitive tipping fees for the waste they receive and also generate revenue from the sale of premium green electricity. By recycling waste into valuable products it costs communities less to manage garbage. PlascoEnergy makes it easy for communities to choose change.
The Plasco Conversion System is the result of thirty years of experience with plasma technologies. Decades of research and development have been invested to develop breakthrough performance both economically and environmentally. Since 1986 we have operated research facilities in Ottawa and Spain where our process has been continuously tested and refined. Our 100 tonnes-per-day commercial scale demonstration plant began operation in Ottawa in the fall of 2007.
Private investment in PlascoEnergy in the last three years has totaled $90 million. The company received $9.5 million in funding from Sustainable Development Technologies Canada and a $4 million loan from the Ontario Ministry of Research and Innovation.
