The Eastern Economic Corridor (EEC) Policy Committee has approved a waste management plan in the corridor’s three provinces to deal with 5.57 million tonnes within 12 years.
Under the plan, the panel aims to set up a prototype project in Rayong for waste-to-energy power generation with a capacity of 10 megawatts, with the plan feeding 500 tonnes per day of solid waste to the project.
The prototype will be a joint cooperation between the Provincial Administration Organization of Rayong and PTT Plc, with a budget of 2 billion baht and an investment return of 9-10%.
