Tehran Biogas Power Station Raises Production Capacity

A biogas power station for units 5 and 6 of South Wastewater Treatment Plant in Tehran was inaugurated on Tuesday.
It has two generators for the simultaneous production of electricity and heat with a total nominal capacity of 2.4 megawatts, the Energy Ministry’s news portal Paven reported.
In addition to collecting biogas from sewage treatment process and preventing its release, the plant produces electricity and heat from the waste, avoiding the consumption of fossil fuel to produce power. This helps prevent the release of greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide) into the atmosphere.
The power plant can produce 15 million kilowatt hours of electricity per year and prevent the emission of 75,000 tons of CO2 annually.
