(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) TASHKENT, Uzbekistan, October 21. South Korean
Sejin G&E Co. Ltd and Uzbekistan founded a Sejin Uz LLC joint
venture for the production of alternative energy from landfill gas
in Uzbekistan, Trend reports.
The joint project is aimed at production of alternative energy
from landfill gas at the Akhangaran and Maidontol solid waste
landfills of Uzbekistan's Tashkent region with a total production
capacity of 16 MW.
The project is said to be implemented from 2023 through 2026 and
governed by Uzbekistan's Ministry of Ecology, Environmental
Protection and Climate Change and Uzbekistan's Ministry of
Investment, Industry and Trade.
Uzbekistan's Ministry of Ecology, Environmental Protection, and
Climate Change has transferred landfills and associated
infrastructure to Sejin G&E Co. Ltd until 2045. This includes
buildings for alternative electric energy production from landfill
gas, provided for free use, and land areas for overhead power
lines, available for rent.
Moreover, the administration of the Tashkent region will ensure
the completion of construction and commissioning of a new landfill
of household waste on 59 hectares of territory adjacent to the
Akhangaran landfill by January 1, 2024, within the framework of the
project of Solid waste Management in Tashkent, implemented with the
participation of the Asian Development Bank.
The initiative for the project was first put forward within the
second Tashkent International Investment Forum (ТIIF-2023) in
April, 2023.
During the forum, Uzbekistan's Ministry of Natural Resources and
Sejin G&E signed an investment agreement worth $55 million for
a project on alternative energy production.
South Korea selected Uzbekistan as one of its partner countries
to implement demonstration pilot projects to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions earlier this year.
Minister of Trade of Korea Ahn Duk-geun noted the importance of
international cooperation in achieving zero greenhouse gas
emissions at the global level, as well as the current policy of
South Korea in the field of mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions
and cooperation in this direction with partner countries.
