Our client is developing a large mixed-use development in KwaZulu-Natal. The development has an energy availability constraint, as well as challenges with landfilling of waste.

The study covered all the available options to convert Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) into a sustainable electricity supply, as well as avoiding the need to build an additional landfill. The Feasibility Study achieved to show that such a technical solution is available and economically viable.
