In China, Xinhua reported that a Chinese-funded waste-to-energy plant, which generates electricity from solid waste recycling, was launched in Bishkek, the capital of Kyrgyzstan.
Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov said the factory would help solve waste processing issues while generating electricity and creating jobs. He added that the project would significantly improve the environmental conditions in the capital and contribute to the electricity supply for the population.
Construction of the facility began in August 2024. Designed with a waste-processing capacity of 3,000 tons per day, the project will initially operate at 1,000 tons per day, generating approximately 146 million kWh of electricity annually and reducing carbon dioxide emissions by an estimated 100,000 tons per year, according to the report.
