In Uzbekistan, measures are being consistently taken to improve the waste management system, expand waste processing, and introduce modern technologies for generating electricity from household waste. The President of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Shavkat Mirziyoyev, was presented with investment projects aimed at further developing the industry, increasing waste processing efficiency, and introducing modern environmentally friendly technologies. In 2026–2027, it is planned to implement 6 major projects jointly with Chinese companies. Their total value is $933 million. The enterprises will be built in Kashkadarya, Samarkand, Tashkent, Andijan, Fergana and Namangan regions.

Once the enterprises reach full capacity, it is planned to process approximately 3.6 million tons of household waste annually and produce 1.6 billion kWh of electricity. In addition, 5 more projects worth $625 million are planned to be implemented in Karakalpakstan, Jizzakh, Surkhandarya, Bukhara and Khorezm regions. They will be able to process up to 1.9 million tons of waste per year and generate about 635 million kWh of electricity. The implementation of these projects will create 500 new jobs, save up to 158 million cubic meters of natural gas, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by approximately 316 thousand tons per year.

Thus, it is planned to implement a total of 11 projects in the field of waste energy utilization. Their implementation will be an important step in forming a modern waste management system, expanding recycling, and ensuring the rational use of resources. Special attention is paid to increasing the level of localization, training qualified personnel, and introducing modern technologies. In cooperation with Green University, Samarkand State University, and Karshi State University, it is planned to form a personnel reserve of 1,000 specialists for the industry.

Following the review of the projects, the President gave relevant instructions to accelerate their implementation, further develop waste processing, increase localization, and train qualified specialists. The implementation of these initiatives will contribute to increasing environmental safety, reducing the volume of waste sent for disposal, and developing "green" energy in the country.
