Project Description
The provision of a sovereign-guaranteed loan of up to KZT 50.3 billion (€105.2 million equivalent) for the benefit of the Karaganda Su for the modernisation of a wastewater treatment plant. The loan will be used to finance the following Project's Priority Investment Programme: (i) the construction of a new WWTP with the capacity of 500,000 population equivalent (P.E.), including the modernisation of a sewage pumping station; and (ii) the construction of sludge treatment facilities, including anaerobic digestion unit and facility to produce heat and electricity from biogas generated by the anaerobic digestion.
Project Objectives
The objective of the project is to improve the quality of wastewater treatment services. The project will be implemented in line with the national and the EU standards for urban wastewater treatment, the EU requirements for sewage sludge management, the EU Best Available Techniques (BAT) for such facilities and the EU taxonomy requirements. Once implemented, the project will also lead to a reduced level of odour and substantially reduce the GHG emissions associated with waste water treatment.
Transition Impact
ETI score: 80
ETI 80
Green (Primary):
1) Environmental benefits: the Project will result in higher quality of treated wastewater effluent at scale and return significant volumes of cleaner water back to the environment.
2) Climate adaptation benefits: the returning of improved-quality wastewater to the wider system against a background of water stress will help adapt local economies and communities to climate change impacts.
3) Climate mitigation benefits: The Anaerobic Digestion (AD) sludge stabilization technology will generate biogas as a by-product. By turning biogas into electricity in-house, GHG intensive external electricity provision will be displaced.
