Waste to Energy (WTE) Campus at
Ahmedabad

A large city like Ahmedabad poses an enormous challenge to administer and manage its varied and complex aspects of which two major ones are solid waste management and energy generation and supply. 12 MMT of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) collected from Ahmedabad city lay spread over 84 acres of the Pirana Dumping Yard in three 75 ft high mountains, with fires and spreading of toxic fumes being a regular feature. Addressing this serious health and environmental hazard was crucial for the city’s administration taken up through this project. The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation’s project for the Waste-to-Energy Campus houses the transformational technology to convert MSW into energy and many other green products. Aligned to the Swachh Bharat Mission initiated by the Indian Prime Minister, this Waste-to-Energy project helps the city to fulfill some of its sustainable development goals (SDGs). This campus is designed to convert 3,65,000 tons of MSW per year into 15 MW of clean energy, enough to power over 5500+ homes within the region, emitting zero toxins into the atmosphere in the process. Sitting on over 16 acres of land, this unique architecture is an extraordinary landmark for the City. It is designed with a greenbelt of over newly planted 10,000+ trees, jogging track, visitors’ plaza, community cricket ground and community gathering space.
