Antony Waste advances circular economy with waste to energy project in Moshi, Pimpri
Antony Waste, renowned for sustainable waste management solutions, proudly completes the landmark 14MW/1,000 TPD Integrated Waste to Energy Project at Moshi, Pimpri, Maharashtra. This innovative venture marks Antony Waste’s alignment with global sustainability goals, bolstering its position as a leading environmental change-maker in the G20 community.
The project stands as Maharashtra’s inaugural venture into waste-to-energy conversion, signifying a critical advancement in regional sustainable development. The project was executed through a Design, Build, Operate, and Transfer (DBOT) model under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP), spanning a 21-year concession period. Antony Lara Renewable Energy Private Limited, a step-down subsidiary of the Company, took the lead in this initiative.
Jose Jacob, Chairman and Managing Director, Antony Waste, observed the transformation in Maharashtra’s waste management through this project. “We firmly believe that circularity is key to building a resilient and green future for our cities, and it is our privilege to contribute to this vision alongside the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (“PCMC”). We extend our sincere gratitude to the PCMC for their unwavering support and collaboration in making this vision a reality.”
Shekhar Singh (I.A.S), Municipal Commissioner of PCMC, emphasized the city’s commitment to sustainable development and effective waste management through this project. He highlighted the collaboration with Antony Waste in leading the way in circularity, setting an example for other cities in India and globally.
The Integrated Waste to Energy Project signifies a crucial stride towards achieving circularity in waste management practices. The project mitigates landfill burden by converting non-recyclable waste into clean, renewable energy. This approach aligns with sustainability principles, where waste becomes a resource, serving both environmental and community benefits.
Antony Waste Group has deployed its innovative technology to process 1,000 Tons Per Day (TPD) of municipal waste, recovering recyclable materials and transforming wet waste into compost.
Approximately 700 TPD of non-recyclable dry waste is processed in the Waste-to-Energy (WTE) Plant, generating 14 Megawatts (MW) of power and meeting environmental emission standards. Additional features include a moving grate mechanism, closed-loop water system, optimized land use, eco-friendliness, and substantial electricity savings.
