Almost a year after the moratorium on power generation based on solid waste, which is mainly affecting municipalities, the Ministry of Public Health has announced that the regulations which establish the conditions for the incineration of waste are ready.

Nacion.com reports that "... The regulation details the type of waste that can be processed, materials which may not be burned, the equipment which must be used by the incineration facility and emissions controls. In addition, it details that plants may begin operations six months after the regulation has been published in the official newspaper La Gaceta. "

"... The news was greeted with enthusiasm by municipalities, which due to the ban, had to postpone plans to promote projects for burning garbage. When the moratorium was issued, for example, the City of León Cortés already had the backing to hire the agricultural firm 7048 and build a gasification plant to convert 45 tons into one megawatt of power.
