DP CleanTech (DPCT) has made official an alliance with Addis Ababa-based Cambridge Industries Ltd (CIL) to ease the rollout of biomass and waste-to-energy projects in Africa

In group with China National Electrical Engineering Corporation (CNEEC), the new alliance's maiden project, has already been secured, and will provide an EPC contract for a waste-to-energy plant in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia.

The design and preliminary work for this project has already been launched and will help to guarantee a smooth progression to the construction phase.

Additional projects in Ethiopia, Djibouti, Senegal, Uganda and Kenya have already entered the planning phase.

The state-of-the-art waste-to-energy plant in Addis Ababa is being developed by CIL and CNEEC for Ethiopian Electric Power (EEP) and makes use of DP Cleantech's cutting-edge technology.

It will be sited near to the Reppie Landfill site – the biggest landfill in Ethiopia.

The project is a key part of the government of Ethiopia's Climate-Resilient Green Economy Strategy.

DP CleanTech CEO, Simon Parker, said : 'We are delighted that the development of waste to energy has gained some traction in Africa, and the commitment of EEP is a significant step towards securing Ethiopia’s future energy needs. The CIL partnership will enable us to advance the role that we believe waste and biomass have to play in the clean energy future of the continent.'
