Analysis of Proposal 18 PFR for proposed Expansion of IMSWMP - WTE power plant at Jawaharnagar, Telangana by GHMC Pre-Feasibility Report 1. Executive Summary Waste to Energy (WTE) is the sum of processes that produce electric energy from waste. Nowadays it has also become a safe and favorable form of energy recovery from the environmental point of view. As such, it is currently regarded as an essential element in the mechanism of integrated waste management, in all industrialized countries. Waste to - energy provides the fourth "R" in a comprehensive solid waste management program: Reduction, Reuse, Recycling, and energy Recovery. To meet the demand of the space for proper treating and disposal of the municipal waste in twin cities of Hyderabad, Secunderabad and its surrounding municipal areas, Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) is proposing to take up establishment of MSW based waste to energy power plant (2x24 MW) at its existing Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Management Project (IMSWMP). Hyderabad Integrated Municipal Solid Waste Limited (HiMSW Limited), a subsidiary of Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited (REEL) has entered into a Concession Agreement with GHMC for development of IMSWMP on 27th February 2009. GHMC has obtained Environmental Clearance from SEIAA, AP vide letter dated 20.06.2012 for establishing IMSWMP for processing MSW of 5500 TPD in phased manner which included waste to energy power plant of 2 x 24 MW. The SEIAA later on informed that the approval of waste to energy plant with a capacity of 2 x 24 MW to a total of 48 MW was not within its purview. Upon which, GHMC, has decided to reduce the same to 19.8 MW so that the same falls within the purview of SEIAA and accordingly the minutes of the meeting held by SEAC dated 27.09.2013, has revised the capacity to be 19.8 MW for the proposed waste to energy project. The GHMC, later decided to reduce the capacity of the power plant to 19.8 MW and submitted to SEAC vide letter dated 11.09.2013. SEAC in its subsequent meetings has recommended for issue of amendment to EC with respect to power plant of capacity of 19.8 MW and the same was approved by SEIAA in its minutes of meeting dated 23.10.2013. SEIAA has issued amendment to environmental clearance vide its Order No. SEIAA/AP/RRD-111/2009-5364 date: 25.10.2013, reducing the capacity of the MSW based power plant to 19.8 MW. Ramky Enviro Services Private Limited, Hyderabad 1 PFR for proposed Expansion of IMSWMP - WTE power plant at Jawaharnagar, Telangana by GHMC 2. Introduction of the Project 2.1 Identification of Project and Project Proponent HiMSW Limited is establishing an integrated MSW project for Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) at Jawahar Nagar to handle MSW in compliance with MSW Rules 2016. The main objective of the proposed Integrated Municipal solid waste processing is to collect 100% of MSW generated in the city limits and to dispose-off the same through a most scientific and productive disposal through a combination of processes) such as compost, pre-sorted waste and also Waste to Energy. The proposed capacity of the WTE plant will be 4 x 600 TPD in a phased manner. Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited is a reputed waste management company in the country with vast experience in the Solid Waste Management (SWM) sector. HiMSW Limited is a group company of the "Ramky Group" based at Hyderabad, which is emerged as India's largest in the environmental sector and has pioneered the art and engineering of SWM in India. It has established itself in the leadership position in the country in the field of environment and infrastructure. 2.2 Brief Description of Nature of the Project HiMSW Limited intends to set up MSW base waste to energy power plant (WTE) in a phased manner. There will be two blocks of waste to energy plants - each comprising of 2 units of 600 TPD MSW combustors with 24 MW aggregate power generations. Thus, it is proposed to install total 4 units of 600 TPD MSW combustors with an aggregate power capacity of 48 MW in total. It will be implemented in phases 2.3 Need for the Project and its Importance to the Country and Region The percentage of India's population living in cities and urban areas has increased over the years since independence, showing the rapid pace of urbanization. This will accelerate even further and by the year 2021 over 40% of Indians are expected to reside in the urban area. This has been fuelled by rapid growth in industrialization, commercialization, development of secondary and tertiary sectors of economy and mass migration. The progressively improving standards of living, rapid urbanization and the wasteful consumer attitudes have resulted in the increase of quantities of municipal wastes to be-handled. The problem of municipal solid waste management has acquired alarming dimensions in India, like any other developing country, is fraught with many inadequacies. In addition, it is a major economic burden on local Government & furthermore, open burning of MSW adversely affects the environment by emitting pollutants to the atmosphere. Thus, it is increasingly felt that the first step towards sustainable waste management programme is to quantify factors affecting environmental quality factors affecting Ramky Enviro Services Private Limited, Hyderabad 2 PFR for proposed Expansion of IMSWMP - WTE power plant at Jawaharnagar, Telangana by GHMC environmental quality pertaining to MSW. The report of high power committee on urban solid waste management in India stated that urban solid waste management continues to remain one of the most neglected areas of urban development in India. Furthermore, the disposal of the waste is by unplanned and uncontrolled open dumping at the landfill sites. The urban areas of India produce about 30 million tons of solid waste from household and commercial activities every year. It is estimated that there is a potential for generating about 1,000 MW of power from MSW in India. If this potential is to be effectively used, it will not only contribute substantially to the overall power generation capacity but will also give a good return on investment, apart from improving the environment. 2.4 Demand Supply Gap Rapid growth of industries and commerce in India necessitates uninterrupted power supply. Therefore, all options need to be explored to generate power from conventional and non-conventional sources. MSW provides an opportunity of tapping potential energy to meet part of the energy demand of the country. 2.5 Imports vs. Indigenous Production At present there are no plans of importing the MSW, only indigenously produced MSW will be used for proposed WTE power plant. However, in future if any MSW is taken from long distance the same will be informed to the concerned authorities. 2.6 Export Possibility At present there are no plans of exporting the MSW to other countries as it is not techno economically feasible, however in future if it is economically viable the same will be informed to the concerned authorities. 2.7 Domestic/Export Markets The power generated from the proposed waste to energy plant will be used for captive requirement the excess will be connected to the grid. 2.8 Employment Generation (Direct and Indirect) due to the Project Around 400 people will get direct employment by the proposed project and around 100 people will get indirect employment.
