Mr. Somprasong Panjalak explained that "PRIME is proud to win this bid since PRIME is a leading company in renewable energy business which is clean energy, and has a track record in developing and operating power plants that are internationally recognized. PRIME is very pleased to be part of the solution for the management of solid waste and hazardous waste by supporting the conversion of municipal solid waste and landfill waste into energy fuel (RDF) for commercial use of energy to achieve sustainability and promote the use of alternative energy."
Mr. Piroon Shinawatra added that this is a significant 25-year project. With an estimated investment of 100 million baht, the project will be operated under a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) concession model. This critical initiative represents a major commitment by PRIME to lead in the operation of waste-to-energy power plants in the coming years.
The complex global issue of waste management, particularly the environmental impact of residual waste, presents numerous challenges. Despite efforts to recycle and minimize waste at the source, a majority still ends up in landfills. This not only requires substantial space, but also raises concerns about environmental sustainability.
Waste-to-energy power plants offer a forward-thinking solution. These facilities use advanced methods to convert waste into usable energy, presenting a two-fold advantage. Firstly, they significantly reduce the need for large landfills, and secondly, they generate sustainable energy that can power various industries. This innovative approach to waste management aligns with PRIME's strategic vision for a more sustainable future.
