In France, Energy News reported that Uzbekistan is committing $1.3 billion to waste-to-energy projects, aiming to diversify its energy sources and improve waste management in partnership with international companies.
The waste-to-energy projects will process around 4.7 million metric tons of solid waste annually. This operation is expected to generate 2.1 billion kilowatt-hours (kWh) of electricity by 2027, according to the report.
To execute these projects, Uzbekistan is partnering with several international companies. These include China CAMC Engineering, a Chinese firm specializing in global infrastructure and energy projects; Shanghai SUS Environment, a Chinese firm focusing on waste management and energy conversion; Tadweer Group from the United Arab Emirates, known for its recycling and waste processing expertise; and Sejin Heavy Industries from South Korea, which focuses on environmental technologies and waste-to-energy projects, the report added.
