About this project

The Effluent Treatment Recycling and Energy Generation (ETREG) Plant Dwangwa (referred as Project Activity), located at the Ethanol Company Limited in Dwangwa, Nkhotakota, Malawi, aims to mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through the installation of an advanced anaerobic digester system. This project will recover biogas generated from the anaerobic digestion of ethanol plant wastewater, converting it into steam and electricity. The steam will replace the use fossil fuel in the plant’s boiler, while the electricity will be supplied to the Malawi grid, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. The proposed project activity will be the first of its kind in Malawi introducing advanced anaerobic digestion and biogas cogeneration technology for wastewater treatment and renewable energy production.
