Waste to Energy International (WTEI) started the development process aimed at South Africa to receive the WTE plant. Today, we have signed an agreement to develop, invest in, and construct a 1,000,000 tpa waste-to-energy (WTE) plant in South Africa. Based on our experience in Egypt and Ethiopia, a solid local company has reached out to us with a proposal for cooperation.
The planned facility falls within the upper capacity range of waste-to-energy plants. The efficient range for such a facility usually extends from 100,000 tons per annum (tpa) to 1,500,000 tpa. Comparatively, upon completion of the investment and construction cycle, South Africa will receive a WTE with a capacity of one million tons per annum, or a 3,000 tons per day plant. Pretoria and the metro generate this amount of municipal solid waste (MSW). Now, the municipality can convert the waste to 60 MW of electricity to feed the country’s grid. That is to say, this amount is sufficient to supply electricity to 40,000 houses.
The consortium involved in the project includes WTEI as a technology developer, OAK as a financial developer, and Real Time Biotech as a local developer and project sponsor. OAK is our long-term investment partner with great connections in the Gulf countries. Correspondingly, Real Time Biotech is our professional partner, deeply involved in the local business relationships in South Africa.
Project status
The project has successfully navigated several critical phases to reach this point. Specifically, the pre-feasibility report comprises 40 pages and is a professional document that covers the initial aspects of the project. The feasibility study funding has been secured and will be released within the next few weeks. The consortium plans to provide the feasibility study analysis in the first quarter of 2023. During this period, WTEI will select a potential technology supplier and receive a firm proposal containing the capital expenditure (CAPEX) and operating expenditure (OPEX) of the plant. Preliminary financial calculations provided by WTEI indicate a positive outlook for the project’s efficiency.
Eventually, Waste to Energy International, OAK, and RT Biotech are proud to commence the first development project, targeting the construction of a substantial, modern facility in South Africa.
We are Cloritus International concept limited based in Nigeria. We are interested in a Modular Pyrolysis Plant for converting waste to Biochar
( carbon black). The waste can be both landfill waste or Agriculture waste.
We would like to partner with for development in Nigeria. As we have partners in Hong Kong that provide Verified Carbon Credits.
Thank you for your request. We can process agricultural waste and provide relevant equipment for it.
