A modern waste incineration plant with power generation capabilities is set to be built in Qaraganda. The complex is designed to process up to 200,000 tons of municipal solid waste annually and will be capable of generating up to 20 megawatts per hour.
The project is being carried out at the initiative of Qaraganda’s GorKomTrans, in partnership with the Chinese company Shangxi CG Construction Group Co., Ltd.
The plant will be located at the existing municipal solid waste landfill. According to the project, a multi-stage emission filtration system will be installed, featuring automatic controls for dioxins, heavy metals, and dust.
The plant is expected to create 50 permanent jobs, with up to 100 people involved during the construction phase. The feasibility study is currently being finalized, and funding sources are being explored.
According to GorKomTrans CEO Marat Bimaganbetov, the project aims to establish a closed-loop waste management system — from sorting to safe disposal and energy recovery.
We previously reported that Chinese investors are also working on a similar project in Almaty.
There, by 2029, up to 80% of municipal waste is expected to be processed, with energy generation reaching up to 60 megawatts per day. Total investment in the Almaty plant is projected at $270 million, with construction scheduled to begin this summer.
