Morocco plans waste-to-energy plant in Casablanca
A consortium led by the Swiss-Japanese company Canadevia Inova has announced the commencement of a waste-to-energy plant in Casablanca at a cost of $1.5 billion. Full operation is expected to begin by mid-2030. The plant, located in Morocco's largest city, will process approximately 1.5 million tons of waste annually and generate around 115 megawatts of electricity—enough to supply about one million people. It will also reduce methane emissions by roughly 20% of Switzerland's annual emissions, contributing to pollution reduction and the mitigation of the environmental impact of the M’diona landfill. This initiative comes as part of efforts to improve waste management and lessen environmental impact, despite opposition from some experts and environmental activists who warn about the reliance on incineration and the decline of recycling initiatives.
