The feasibility study was conducted to assess the viability of a complete waste management process using internationally proven technologies. The study included the use of transfer stations, waste collection and logistics of waste to increase volumes for a Waste to Energy plant that would process 400 tons of waste per day. The study included socio-economic development with the supply of water, farming, and additional benefits that the Waste to Energy plant could provide for the surrounding communities.
The Waste to Energy plant would produce 50% less CO2 emissions per kilowatt of electricity than a coal-fired power station. The plant would be able to provide a minimum of 15MW of electricity to the National Grid, based on the waste volumes that were assessed.
