Total Investment: To be defined (prefeasibility phase)
This project aims to install a treatment and recovery plant for urban solid waste in the Pacific Region, focused on reducing the disposal of organic waste in landfills through the generation of renewable energy (biogas) and the production of organic fertilizers. Its implementation directly contributes to national decarbonization goals and the transition toward a circular economy.
Objective
To install a treatment and recovery plant for urban solid waste in the Pacific Region that generates sustainable income from the sale of renewable energy and organic fertilizers.
Key Goals
- Reduce the disposal of organic waste in landfills.
- Generate renewable energy (biogas) and produce organic fertilizers.
- Design long-term energy supply and waste disposal contracts that ensure project viability.
- Align the project with public policies such as PGIRS and POT.
Market Opportunity
The inefficient management of waste in Colombia presents a significant opportunity: only 14% of urban solid waste is recycled, while the majority ends up in landfills. This project addresses that gap through a model that transforms organic waste into biogas and fertilizers, reducing municipal costs and generating value-added products for agriculture and the energy sector.
ESG Considerations
Environmental: Reduction of landfill waste, production of clean energy, and sustainable fertilizers.
Social: Community inclusion, creation of green jobs, and improved urban quality of life.
Governance: Interinstitutional coordination, risk management, and strengthening of the environmental regulatory framework.
