Waste-to-Energy Campus at Jamnagar
Waste-to-Energy Campus at Jamnagar received the HUDCO Design Awards 2023-24 under the “Green Building” category.
The Waste to Energy (WTE) Jamnagar Campus is an integrated renewable energy power plant that converts 750 MT/day MSW into 7.5MW of electricity, enough to power 15000 homes, while emitting no toxins. The design transforms 17 acres of barren land into a greenbelt with 10000+ trees, as well as social-recreational community space. The plant also integrates renewable energy systems including onsite solar & biogas plants. It uses treated municipal wastewater & advanced mist turbine condenser cooling to save auxiliary power & retain evaporated water-vapor. The campus features a range of landscaping strategies to filter harsh sunlight, guide cool breeze & reduce urban heat island effect.
With one of the lowest area footprints among power plants around the globe, the project achieved the remarkable distinction of being awarded "India's first platinum-rated net-zero Green Waste-to-Energy Campus" by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), and also received the 2023 Green Good Design Award by The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
