The work involved monitoring the operation and management of a kitchen waste treatment facility constructed by the Wakkanai Municipal Authority using the PFI method.* This kitchen waste treatment facility (Wakkanai Municipal Bio Energy Center) accepts kitchen garbage and effectively uses such waste for power generation utilising the retrieved biogas produced through fermentation and also for composting.
The retrieved biogas is also used as fuel for garbage trucks.
