The investment aims to enable the plant to generate additional renewable energy from biogas, reduce dependency on fossil fuels, and improve environmental performance. The new system also expecped to contribute to circular economy practices by turning waste into energy.

The project is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 6,096 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent annually, contributing to Türkiye’s climate goals and sustainable rural development.
