Orders received for two Energy-from-Waste plants equipment in Moscow

Oct 14, 2020

Hitachi Zosen Inova AG (HZI), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hitachi Zosen Corporation, specialized in the design, construction, and services for Energy-from-Waste (EfW) plants, and PJSC ZiO-Podolsk, a Russian engineering company, formed a consortium, and have received orders of equipment for two EfW plants in Moscow, Russia (stoker type incinerator: 700,000 t/year, power generation output: approximately 70MW) from Alternative Generating Company-1 LLC (AGC1)*.

Both governments of Moscow Oblast and City are currently undertaking projects to construct four EfW plants near Moscow City. The consortium has received the remaining two orders from AGC1 following July 2019 and April 2020.

This consortium is responsible for the design and supply of main equipment such as waste cranes, grates, exhaust gas treatment equipment as well as the dispatch of supervisors during installation and commissioning period. Civil engineering works are the scope of local companies.

In recent years, the shortage of the landfill capacity has become a significant problem in Moscow, and the construction of EfW plants are expected from both the viewpoints of hygienic disposal of wastes and power generation. Once all four plants are in operation, it will be possible to incinerate about 2,800,000 tons of wastes and supply the power for about 1.5 million inhabitants per year.

The waste incineration power generation, which is our group's specialty, is one of the clean energies and can contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emission. In addition, demand for EfW plants are increasing in East Europe, Middle East, Southeast Asia, Oceania, and other regions where wastes have been mainly treated with landfills, due to growing environmental awareness and increasing waste treatment volume by economic development.

Providing the sanitary treatment of wastes and the clean energy, our Group will actively work to achieve SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) set by the United Nations General Assembly and resolve global environmental issues.
