The DUCE project (Urban Waste for Electricity) focuses on constructing two electricity production units in Yaoundé and Douala, utilizing a gasification process to convert municipal waste into energy. This initiative aims to address the chronic electricity shortage in both cities while improving street sanitation and tackling public health challenges related to waste management. Additionally, it seeks to create hundreds of direct and indirect jobs to combat unemployment. Partnered with MD POWER LLC, the project employs advanced gasification technology that ensures energy production without emitting particles into the atmosphere.
