Aktobe recycling plant to generate electricity

"Over the last five or six months, we have been negotiating with this investment group that specializes in such environmentally friendly projects. This year we plan to complete the design of the plant, and the next year we will start construction," said G. Iskaliyev. The uniqueness of the recycling plant is that it will produce electricity. According to preliminary data, a waste firing substation will generate 10 - 15 megawatts per hour. It is expected that the waste recycling plant will process 200,000 tons of municipal solid waste per annum. It should be noted that every year in the city accumulates up to 180 thousand tons of solid waste. Total investment in the project will amount to about 60 million euros. The plant will apply the latest technology and equipment.
