BUTEC and Kanadevia Inova win major contract for Casablanca waste-to-energy plant


A consortium comprising Nareva, Kanadevia Inova and Itochu Company, via its 33.5-year concession settlement with the Municipality of Casablanca, has entrusted BUTEC with a serious engineering, procurement and building contract for Casablanca’s landmark waste-to-energy venture, leveraging BUTEC’s multidisciplinary engineering and contracting capabilities for certainly one of Morocco’s most vital waste administration and power restoration developments.

For the supply of this landmark venture, BUTEC has joined forces with the Switzerland-based Kanadevia Inova, a world chief in Waste-to-Vitality and renewable gasoline options.

Positioned northwest of the Mediouna landfill within the Casablanca-Settat area of the Kingdom of Morocco, this ultra-large waste incineration facility will course of roughly 1.5 million tonnes of non-recyclable waste yearly, considerably decreasing reliance on landfill.

By diverting the waste from landfill and changing it into power, this plant is predicted to stop as much as 1.0 tonne of COâ‚‚-equivalent emissions per tonne of waste whereas producing 126 MWe of baseload electrical energy.
