Abstract

Close
- This study explored cumulative 127.5MW waste to energy (WtE) potential in five populous cities of Pakistan based on local waste characterization profiles and global standards. The 50MW WtE plant in Lahore using National electricity regulator codes and practices resulted in an attractive Levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of US¢ 7.86/kWh over 25 years with a $151.5 million investment cost. The net savings to Lahore Waste Management Company can be $103.4 and $137.7 million respectively with and without tipping fees on account of waste disposal cost, bricks revenue using bottom ash, and waste fee. The project developers can get net savings of $16.9 and $51.5 million respectively with and without tipping fees other than LCOE. Furthermore, the greenhouse gas emissions of 216.6 million tons of CO2eq can be saved throughout plant life against 279 GWh/year energy generation, in terms of grid emission factor and current methane release into the atmosphere from the dumping site.
