Volunteers pick up waste during a river clean-up and brand audit at the Panigan-Tamugan Watershed in Baguio District, Davao City on September 26, 2020.
In a resolution passed in August 2022, the city council said it hopes to take advantage of the grant opportunity “as a result of the strong relationship of the Philippines with Japan.”He believed the project “would push through” despite the strong opposition from different environmental advocates in the city.
He said the WTE would generate a capacity of 11 MW. Of this total, 30% will be utilized to run the facility. The city generates around 600 to 700 tons of waste daily, according to the City Environment and Natural Resources Office.He also allayed fears that the project would have detrimental effects on the health of the public and the environment.
Atty. Mark Peñalver, executive director of Interfacing Development Interventions for Sustainability , said that a WTE facility is a “dangerous way” of generating power as it is not a renewable energy source and produces more greenhouse gasses than coal.
