Japanese firm eyes tie-up for NCR waste-to-energy project
MANILA – President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. announced on Friday the plan of Osaka-based Kanadevia Corporation to invest in a Waste-to-Energy (WtE) project aimed at transforming the waste disposal system of the National Capital Region (NCR) through sustainable large-scale energy recovery.
“I’m pleased to share that we are working with Japan’s Kanadevia Corporation on a landmark Waste-to-Energy project for Manila,” Marcos said in a Facebook post, after meeting with the top executives on the second day of his working visit to Osaka, Japan.
“This initiative will turn thousands of tons of waste into clean energy, reduce flooding, create jobs and help clean up communities,” he added.
During the meeting, Marcos was briefed about Kanadevia’s planned partnership with Phil. Ecology Systems Corp., a major player in the design, construction and operation of integrated sanitary solid waste management and disposal facilities in the Philippines.
In a separate statement, the Presidential Communications Office (PCO) said the plan would help reduce landfill dependency and generate clean power for Metro Manila.
“Discussions focused on the proposed development at the former Smokey Mountain landfill site, which aims to convert residual solid waste into renewable energy, improve flood mitigation and rehabilitate degraded urban areas,” the PCO said.
Kanadevia specializes in high-tech environmental systems, including advanced WtE facilities, desalination plants and water treatment technologies.
It is the Japanese proponent, co-investor and technology provider in the Manila WtE Project.
Located in Smokey Mountain in Tondo, Manila, the WtE project is a groundbreaking and strategic infrastructure initiative that will address several national priorities including better waste disposal system, power generation, generation of foreign direct investments, jobs creation and environmental sustainability.
