Zimbabwe has signed an agreement with Chinese company Zhejiang Weiming Environment Protection to develop a waste-to-energy plant at the former Pomona dumpsite in Harare.
The project, involving Geo Pomona Waste Management, is expected to process 1,000 tonnes of waste per day and generate between 16 and 22 megawatts of electricity for the national grid.
The facility is expected to reduce pressure on landfills while helping cut methane emissions from decomposing waste. It is also expected to create employment and strengthen waste management in the capital.
Officials described the deal as an important step towards sustainable urban development and Zimbabwe's Vision 2030 goals, particularly around environmental protection and energy security.
