According to Wahab the project would convert part of Lagos’ waste into electricity at the decommissioned Epe landfill, processing 2,500 to 3,000 tons of waste daily out of the 13,000 to 14,000 tons generated in the state.
“The waste-to-energy project with the Dutch company, Harvest Waste, is backed by the Dutch Government to the tune of about €120 million and we have designated the decommissioned Epe landfill for this purpose.
Recall that last year, the Lagos Waste Management Authority, LAWMA, revealed that it was partnering with the C40 and G-ORBIT Enterprise in efforts to convert organic waste into biogas which is used for electricity generation.
