Waste-to-energy plants ‘an environmental hazard’
Academics have urged the authorities to slow down their large-scale waste-to-energy development policy, as it could severely harm the country’s environment and people’s health.
The Interior and Energy ministries disclosed that the government is offering more subsidies to further boost investments in waste-to-energy power plants at the local level by increasing the power purchase quota to 900 megawatts (MW) and allocating an additional budget of Bt2.5 billion to fund the junta’s waste management strategy.
