Brief description

One of the most urgent challenges in Ghana is waste management. More than 12,000 tonnes of municipal waste are generated every day, of which only 10% is disposed of. The rest ends up on the streets and causes health problems. The project aims to utilise solid waste in Ghana to generate energy. A new 400 kW hybrid PV, biogas and pyrolysis plant is being planned as a pilot plant, which will be customised on the basis of physical and chemical properties.
