GIZ Jordan’s Post

On average, MENA industrial facilities consume 20%-30% more resources per industrial output compared to international benchmarks. This is an opportunity for greening and increasing profitability. It is our absolute pleasure to be part this journey of increasing the competitiveness and sustainability of the Jordanian Industry. Over the coming 18 month we will continue to work with our close partner Cewas Middle East within the context of the visionary GAIN project GIZ Jordan to develop a dynamic and active green industrial services market. This will take place through the guidance and support of relevant partners and stakeholders; Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Industry and Trade - Jordan Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Fund (JREEEF) and Royal Scientific Society الجمعيّة العلميّة الملكيّة. GAIN project is Commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ Jordan The GAIN project aims to #accelerate and shape change towards a green and inclusive hashtag #economy, enhancing the quality of life in hashtag #Jordan. #Resource efficiency #Sustainability https://lnkd.in/dqRdf8yE

Transition to a #green_economy in #Jordan will certainly be pushed by the private sector with suitable policies and adequate technologies. In our GIZ GAIN project we are aiming to engage an important sector of green private sector ecosystem which is the green service providers. Green Business Development Service Providers (Green BDS) are a strong sector in Jordan that has accumulated many experiences in the past in providing technical support to industries in providing green solutions, and the potential is even bigger with new market and policy demands that require advanced technical services. Through our partners in Chemonics Egypt Consultants and Cewas and in cooperation with the Ministry of Environment a process of engagement with green service providers and matching with demand from industries and working together to shape an identity for the green service providers' market in Jordan that responds to current priorities as well emerging trends.

The GIZ implemented - GAIN project have strated its Green Business Development Services Activity with two days workshops for understanding the Jordanian Industrial needs in resource effeciency measures in #water, #energy and #waste, implementation of measures on resource effeciency in the Jordanian Industrial sector will be the next step and will continue for the next two years

🔁 Wasted 🚰 🌊 The Binh Hung Wastewater Treatment Plant in Binh Chanh District, Ho Chi Minh City, has completed its expansion, boosting its treatment capacity to 469,000 cubic meters per day, making it the largest of its kind in Vietnam. ✂️ Ho Chi Minh City inaugurated the expanded Binh Hung Wastewater Treatment Plant on Friday as part of Phase 2 of the city's water environment improvement project. This phase represents the most significant investment in the project, with a total cost of approximately VND11.3 trillion (US$453 million), funded by Japanese official development aid loans and Vietnam's counterpart funds. 🏗️ Luong Minh Phuc, director of the city's Management Board of Traffic Works Construction and Investment, which oversees the project, stated that the completion of Phase 2 has increased the plant's treatment capacity by 328,000 cubic meters per day, compared to Phase 1. The expanded plant now serves a basin area of over 2,500 hectares, catering to approximately 1.8 million people. 💡 Wastewater from Districts 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, and Binh Chanh is collected and conveyed through a system of interceptor sewers to the Dong Dieu pumping station in District 8. At this station, wastewater undergoes preliminary treatment to remove sand and debris before being pumped through pipelines to the Binh Hung plant for further treatment. The treated water is then discharged into the environment. ♻️ The project plays a crucial role in reducing environmental pollution in the basin of the Tau Hu - Ben Nghe - Doi - Te canal system, which runs through Districts 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 11, from downtown to suburban areas. ✅ Following the completion of Phase 2, one final phase remains, which involves expanding the wastewater treatment coverage by approximately 1,600 hectares to include Districts 7, 8, and Nha Be, serving another 900,000 people. Once this phase is completed, all domestic wastewater from the Tau Hu - Ben Nghe - Doi - Te canal basin will be collected and treated to meet environmental standards before being discharged. 📍 In addition to the Binh Hung Wastewater Treatment Plant, Ho Chi Minh City has two other plants: Tham Luong - Ben Cat (with a capacity of 131,000 cubic meters) and Binh Hung Hoa (30,000 cubic meters). Currently, the city's total capacity for treating urban domestic wastewater only reaches about 40% of the daily wastewater volume. The Nhieu Loc - Thi Nghe Wastewater Treatment Plant, located in Thanh My Loi Ward, Thu Duc City, with a capacity of 480,000 cubic meters per day, is currently under construction. https://lnkd.in/gwB-sTAz

The need for potable water in the Middle East & North Africa (MENA) is one of the biggest challenges facing the region - especially as populations are anticipated to rise significantly over the coming years.

Egypt has great potential for energy savings in various sectors

With Chinese investments... establishing a waste-to-power plant in Alexandria ◾ Nahdet Misr Environmental Services Company, responsible for hygiene work in Alexandria, signed a cooperation protocol with China's Tianjin Tida Environmental Protection Co. Ltd in the production of electrical power from solid municipal waste. ◾The protocol includes an agreement for the Chinese company TEDA to establish a station to convert waste into energy, which will use 1,000 tons of waste per day to produce electrical energy with a capacity of 35 MWh. The technology used by the Chinese company is environmentally friendly, as burning waste does not produce any emissions ◾The protocol comes within the framework of the Egyptian government’s interest in the field of continuous development of the hygiene system, and the search for modern means of producing electrical energy from solid household waste in light of the increasing demand for energy. #energyticslimited #energyefficiency #energymanagement  #energyindustry #energyengineering #energyinnovation #energysecurity #energytechnology #wastemanagement #wastetoenergy
