Ethiopia: Introduction of Biomass CHP Plant in Flooring Factory [Pacific Consultants Co., Ltd.]
2017.10.12
JCM’s first biomass project has been launched in Ethiopia rich in bamboo.
A bamboo flooring plant is under construction at the Hawassa Industrial Park located about 270km south from Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia – this new plant starting its operation in 2019 will be equipped with a biomass co-generation system which recycles by-produced bamboo residue in the manufacturing process as the feedstock to generate the necessary heat and electric power for the plant.
Compared with a conventional diesel fuel equipment, this system enables a drastic reduction of GHG emissions as well as mitigation of waste from the plant.
The plant is expected to be completed as a suitable building for the environmentally friendly Hawassa park, with natural ventilation, recycling of rain water and LED street lights.
