Iran inaugurates its biggest biomass power plant

Tehran, IRNA – Iran has inaugurated a biomass power plant that will produce 50 million kilowatt-hours (kW-h) of electricity per year and turns the country into the largest producer of power generated from wastewater treatment plants in West Asia.

The power plant, located in  west of Tehran, was among the water and sewage projects of the capital city, which were inaugurated on Thursday in the presence of President Ebrahim Raisi. The whole project is worth over $4 billion. 

The newly inaugurated biomass power plant is the largest of its kind in Iran and has a nominal capacity of 7.2 MW. 

It will increase the country’s biomass electricity generation from sewage treatment to 14.4 MW, turning Iran into the biggest such producer in the region. 

The Tehran plant will also prevent the emission of greenhouse gases equal to 225,000 tons of carbon dioxide per annum and will help reduce gas consumption by 24 million cubic meters a year.
