A waste-to-energy plant
is set to open in Almaty, with preparations now underway for construction and
installation work to begin. Kazakh Prime Minister Olzhas Bektenov discussed the
progress of the project, which was launched in May, with Dai Daoguo, Chairman
of the Board of Directors of Hunan Junxin Environmental Protection. Investment
in the plant will total 145 billion tenge, as stipulated in the investment
agreement previously signed by the two sides. The facility will be able to
process up to 2,000 tonnes of waste per day and generate up to 60 megawatts of
electricity. The new plant is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by
approximately 200,000 tonnes a year. The meeting also discussed prospects for
expanding cooperation. Similar facilities are planned in other major cities in
Kazakhstan.
