Tokyo based waste-to-energy technology manufacturer JFE Engineering Corporation has received an order to build the first waste incineration power plant in Myanmar's (Burma) Yangon City using the bilateral Joint Crediting Mechanism (JCM) between Myanmar and Japan.
The company explained that JCM is a scheme that enables Japan to achieve its emission reduction target through reductions of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in developing nations that were results of the dissemination of Japanese low-carbon technologies, products, and services.
The planned waste to energy plant will have a capacity of 60 tonnes per day, and will generate approximately 700 kW of electrical power. In addition to supplementing Myanmar's current inadequate supply of electric power, the plant will also reduce CO2 emissions by about 2400 t-CO2/year.
