Why is this important
Projects in the field of combined generation and agricultural waste recycling are directly linked to energy efficiency and energy mix diversification. The use of biomass allows for simultaneous solutions for heat supply and sustainable development. Negotiations with Korean companies demonstrate the interest of foreign partners in infrastructure and green projects in Uzbekistan.
What happened
- The Ministry of Investment, Industry, and Trade of Uzbekistan held a meeting with a delegation from Hyundai Heavy Industries Power Systems, Korea District Heating Corporation, and the Korea Institute for Climate Change.
- The parties discussed a project to build a combined heat and power plant running on agricultural waste.
- Following the meeting, interest in further promoting the project was confirmed.
Numbers and facts
- The project involves the construction of a CHP station using agricultural waste as fuel.
- During the negotiations, the project concept and proposed technological solutions were discussed.
- The issues of integrating generated heat into the centralized heating system were discussed separately.
- Prospects for the practical implementation of the project and further investment cooperation were also outlined.
Context
- For the energy sector, this means the opportunity to develop generation based on renewable and alternative fuel sources.
- From an infrastructure perspective, the project could strengthen the district heating system through local heat generation.
- To promote investment cooperation, the initiative expands interaction between Uzbekistan and Korea in the field of green energy.
