Istanbul Waste Power Plant ( Turkish: İBB Atık Yakma ve Enerji Ürestim Tesisi) is a waste-to-energy facility in the Eyüp district of Istanbul near the Odayeri landfill, [1] Turkey, using waste incineration. Opened in 2021 it is owned by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) and operated by İstanbul Environmental Management Co. (İSTAÇ). [2] It is Turkey's first power plant of this type. [3] Project development started in 2011 with a grant from the United States Trade Development Agency (USTDA) which involved first a Definitional Mission and subsequently a detailed Feasibility Assessment. [4] [5]

Overview

The waste-to-energy plant was built by a consortium of the Swiss Hitachi Zosen Inova and the Turkish Makyol. Construction began on 16 September 2017. [6] [7] Located in the Işıklar (formerly Kısırmandıra) neighborhood of the Eyüp district of Istanbul, [8] it was opened on 26 November 2021. [2] [6] The plant is owned by the Istanbul Metropolitan Municipality (İBB) and operated by İstanbul Environmental Management Co. (İSTAÇ), a subsidiary of the Metropolitan Municipality. [6] It is Turkey's first waste-to-energy facility. [3] [6] Kömürcüoda on the Asia side also generates electricity.

Characteristics

The plant is capable of incinerating 3,000 tons of waste daily, 15% of Istanbul's daily domestic waste. [2] [6] The three incinerators each of 1,000 tons capacity reach about 850–1,100 °C (1,560–2,010 °F). [7] [8] It can generate 78 MW⋅h electrical energy and 175 MW⋅h thermal energy. The generated electricity is equivalent to the needs of nearly 1.4 million people. A reduction of greenhouse gas emissions amounting to 1.38 million tons can be achieved, which is the amount of exhaust gas emission of about 700.000 vehicles. [2] [9] In 2022 the nearby Odayeri landfill was estimated by Climate Trace to have emitted over 6 million tonnes of CO2eq. [10] 90 people are employed in the facility. The plant saves a waste landfill storage area of 100 ha (250 acres). [7]
