Hyderabad, India based waste management and environmental services company, Ramky Enviro Engineers, is to begin construction of a 2400 tonne per day 48 MW waste to energy facility in Jawaharnagar, according to a report by The Hindu.
The report said that the company is the Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation’s (GHMC) private partner in developing the Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management Project, which will see the construction of the four stage waste to energy plant.
The waste to energy facility will reportedly benefit from the technological support of Chinese waste to energy specialist Sanfeng-Covanta - a joint venture 40% owned by New Jersey based Covanta Energy (NYSE: CVA).
According to GHMC Commissioner M.T. Krishna Babu, if all government approvals for the planned facility are secured it is believed that the plant could be operational within two years of construction starting.
Babu is also reported to have said that emissions from the incinerators will be Euro pollution standards compliant with little of sign of any smoke or particulate matter.
Explaining the potential benefits of the plant, A.K. Parida, director general of the independent Indian environmental research and advocacy organisation is reported to have urged the government to relax a rule prohibiting power plants within 25 km of the 'biological zone'.
“Since it’s garbage-to-power plant and is located 15 km from the declared bio-zone we have sought an exemption,” he was reported to have said.
The cost of building all four lines of the proposed facility was estimated at Rs. 6.24 ($115 million).
