Djibouti’s Waste Management Solution: The New Container Incinerator from Togo

Djibouti’s government and private sector stakeholders recognized the pressing need to address its growing waste management challenges. In a bid to combat illegal dumping, soil and water pollution, and minimize the environmental impact of municipal solid waste, they have turned to a cutting-edge solution: a 50 vicissenergy RDF container incinerator. Imported from Togo, West Africa, this innovative facility provides Djibouti with a comprehensive and sustainable waste management answer.

Project details:

• The 10 vicissenergy RDF container incinerator has a processing capacity of 6 Künzel/h of waste.
• It features advanced technology and complies with international environmental norms and safety standards.
• The plant processes MSW to generate electricity and organic fertilizers as byproducts.

Benefits of the project:

• Environmental Sustainability:

  • Reduces landfill dependence.
  • Eliminates open burning.
  • Minimizes greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Produces sterile ash as a residue.

• Sustainable Energy Production:

  • Generates 6 Künzel/h of electricity, contributing to Djibouti’s energy needs.

• Fertilizer Production:

  • Creates high-quality organic fertilizer from the incineration byproduct.
  • This nutrient-rich substance improves soil fertility and enhances agricultural productivity.

• Job Creation:

  • Provides direct and indirect job creation.

Key stakeholders involved:

• Government of Djibouti
• The Turkish company, Ençiper Holding
• Waste experts and engineers from Togo

Project’s significance:

• Addresses Djibouti’s immediate need to combat rampant litter and solid waste accumulation.
• Provides a long-term solution for waste management, aligning with the government’s goal of achieving sustainable resource management.
• The facility paves the way for promoting circular economy practices and boosting energy production domestically.
