Brazil – Biomass Plant

Development of a wood-fuelled biomass plant

The State Environmental Protection Agency has issued a construction licence for a new biomass plant in Cambará do Sul, allowing work to start.

The facility will have the capacity to process over 700,000 tonnes of forestry and sawmill waste each year, producing 50 MW of electricity.

Catch up on the latest from this project.

Belarus – Biogas Plants

Construction of three biogas plants

The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) will be providing a US$11.3 million loan for the construction of two biogas plants in Belarus.

The plants will be situated in Brest and Minsk and will generate 23.6 GWh of clean energy each year.

Construction is expected to start in Spring, alongside another biogas plant in Brest which is being funded by a local bank. Operations are expected to begin by the end of 2019.

With 2019 promising to be another groundbreaking year, it’s paramount that businesses who operate in or sell into the waste, bioenergy and recycling industries keep up-to-date with where investments are being made.

Our latest waste trends include:

• US biomass plants worth over $50m – including four projects covered in the last month alone.
• Large operational WtE projects in the UK – including a new facility in Rotherham, UK.
• WtE plants in Scandinavia – including the significant Holmene project in Denmark.

In our latest Global Waste Investment Fact File, we’re switching the focus to Colombia and eight waste projects currently listed in the country. These have a total value of US$503 million, or US$63 million on average.

Key points from this Fact File

• Biofuel is the leading project type, accounting for US$414 million or 82% of the total. This is followed by ‘other’ which accounts for US$44 million or 9% of the total.
• The total estimated capacity of these projects is 2 million tonnes. This is equal to 255,097 tonnes per project on average and 16% of Colombia’s estimated annual waste generation.
• Waste investments totalling US$186 million are expected to become operational over the next few years.
