Skol Brewery Rwanda transforms wastewater into green energy to profitably benefit the African environment
S
kol Brewery has upgraded its Rwandan Kigali plant with Global Water Engineering (GWE) waste-to-energy technology that turns
wastewater organic pollutants into biogas, or green energy, to profitably power plant boiler equipment while achieving high environmental benefits. Te country has a strong need for sustainable technologies, with the World Health Organisation’s African Regional
Office identifying, “Rwanda undoubtedly faces significant environmental challenges, and needs to invest significantly in adapting to current climate challenges as well as in adaptation to future climate change.” Water shortages are also a big problem in Rwanda, with water needs in Kigali city being only met at 50% or less especially in dry season in a city with urbanisation growth rate of more than 9% annually. Skol Brewery Rwanda’s new installation, incorporating the efficient and proven
GWE waste-to-energy technologies, aligns the brewery with top international environmental wastewater standards and demonstrates the company is taking important action to ensure the sustainability of its operations, says GWE Chairman and CEO Jean Pierre Ombregt. Te new process at the Kigali plant
involves GWE’s anaerobic waste digestion technology, which is currently used in more than 150 waste-to-green energy plants worldwide, including dozens of breweries.
