Country: Pakistan
Financier: World Bank
Client: Sindh Solid Waste Management Board
Duration: 07/2022 - 06/2023
The project's main objective is to propose the most financially feasible, technically viable, and socially/ environmentally acceptable options for producing energy from the waste being collected at the two main landfills in Karachi.
The metropolitan city of Karachi generates an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 metric tons of municipal solid waste per day. Around 60 % of this waste is collected and transported to the Jam Chakro and Gond Pass landfills.
The assignment's scope includes defining the baseline by reviewing current waste composition, the sector, and available and appropriate technology options. The project team will consult relevant stakeholders, propose preferred options based on multi-criteria analysis, prepare feasibility studies and conceptual designs, and assist with the technical aspects during project tendering.
