In China, Xinhua reported that China’s Shanghai Electric is collaborating on a waste-to-energy plant in Malaysia’s Selangor state.
The project will help the state dispose of waste using the least possible land and generating power with the latest technology that is the safest way, Selangor state Chief Minister Amirudin Shari said.
The plant can dispose about 2,900 tons of solid waste per day and generate about 52 megawatts (MW) of electricity, and is scheduled to start operations in 2026, according to the report.
The project’s owner Worldwide Holdings said the project would have a positive impact on the local economy, creating 900 jobs during the construction phase and 250 jobs in operation.
