Tehran Biogas Power Station Helping Curb Greenhouse Gases

Iran’s largest biogas power plant in South Wastewater Treatment Plant in the capital generates 9 million kilowatts of power per year, a deputy of Tehran Province's Water and Wastewater Company said.
“The biogas power station, operational since 2013, curbs the emission of 200,000 tons of greenhouse gases, especially methane, annually by converting them to electricity,” Morteza Ehteshami was also quoted as saying by Mehr News Agency.
TPWWC has a long-term agreement with the Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Organization (Satba), based on which the latter is obliged to purchase the generated power for 15 years at an average price of 8 cents per kilowatt hour, he added.
