Hello.
Producing electricity from household waste in Glékopé in the prefecture of Agou The Ministry of the Environment and Forest Resources (MERF) through the National Agency for Environmental Management (ANGE) Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) for the project for the construction and operation of a treatment and recovery center for household and similar waste in Glékopé in the prefecture of Agou. The purpose of the Industrial Waste Incineration Service of Togo (SIDMIT) is to produce electricity. The Director General of ANGE Adadji Koffi who visited the site to house the structure also chaired the validation of the report presented by the consultant. More than 50 actors were on hand this August 10, 2017 at the Hotel Béthania. The objective of the project for the construction and operation of the waste treatment and recycling center is to recycle waste into clean energy. The incinerated household and industrial waste will drastically reduce their presence in the open air in order to sanitize Togolese cities. The delegation led by Mr Adadji visited the project site in Glékopé, about 70 km from Lomé, in the presence of the developer, the media and the neighboring populations. This project is beneficial, said the DG, but his institution will be watching and will follow up on the environmental and social management plan proposed by the consultant. The waste treatment center will be built over an area of .4 ha. Outside the factory, there will be the construction of laboratories for study and treatment of waste, a health center, and dwellings for the employees. The project will have an impact on the environment, for which a renowned association in reforestation will have the task of making reforestation reforestation. According to the consultant, Mr Tcheinti-Nabine Maxwell "all avoiding measures will be taken to minimize the risks to the health of populations". "Our first activity will be the incineration of waste to produce electricity. Then it will be marketed on the national and international market, "said Ekué Elda, the logistics manager. The processing capacity will be 5 tonnes per hour and the cost of construction is estimated at 23 billion CFA francs, according to the promoter, Eric Kentzler. He also promised local residents that the local workforce will be privileged if qualified. After this preliminary work, the promoter is awaiting the issuance of the certificate of conformity which opens the start of its activities to him.

Tevi, thank you for your report. As we get to have more and more waste, it is highly recommended to figure out how to use the waste. Your report definitely shows us good example. I believe other Ambassadors would also enjoy reading this article. Well written!

Hi Tevi! Thanks for sharing your report on new project:)
Turning waste into clean energy sounds really fascinating idea, and I've seen many counties started producing energy in that way. Hope the project will be done successfully and let us know how it goes!
