The UK based Scholars Power Limited and Enduring Energy Limited of Bangladesh have undertaken a joint initiative to establish ”waste to energy recovery plant’ for disposing of the solid waste in an efficient manner as well as generating low cost renewable energy in Bangladesh.
Actually, the environment especially air and water are getting polluted due to lack of effective solid waste disposal system, posing serious threat to lead a healthy life. Considering this, such kind of initiative is really
praiseworthy to protect the nature from pollution. In this connection, the Rural Development and Co-operatives Department, the authorities of Sirajganj Pourashava signed an agreement for establishing a Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) Disposal Facility by producing Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) plant with UK based Scholars Power Limited and its associate Enduring Energy Limited of Bangladesh recently.
As per the agreement, Scholars Power Limited will establish the MSW to SRF production plant in collaboration with its associates with 100 percent own finance and no investment or subsidy from the Government of Bangladesh for the safe and eco-friendly disposal of the MSW and recovering renewable energy from it by producing SRF.
However, the ground breaking ceremony of the project along with a detailed introduction of the project to the city dwellers took place in the Shaheed M. Mansur Ali auditorium in the city recently.
Industry insiders said safe and eco-friendly disposal of the MSW is an expensive process. In England, the authority pays an amount of $ 65 to $170 equivalent amount of money to dispose of per ton MSW to the service providers, which is roughly Tk 5,500 to Tk 14,500.
In this Sirajganj MSW Disposal and SRF Production facility, Scholars Power Limited will provide this service at a free of cost which will recover its investment from the sales of the produced SRF for a twenty years period of time. Such activities would help delivering a clean and green Sirajganj.
Landfills are one of the primary sources of water, air and soil pollution as well as the breeding ground for insect and animal borne diseases. Whatever we are throwing away today as waste or garbage is coming back to us by decomposing in the ground, evaporating in the atmosphere and mixing in the ground water. The organic fraction of the MSW produces methane at the time of decomposition which is a 30 times more damaging gas comparing to carbon dioxide for the atmosphere.
