Jason Pugh presents an overview of the technology, history and future opportunities for this energy from waste project.

Jason Pugh has spent the past 10 of his 25-year career in the waste to energy sector. He achieved Australia’s first EPA approval for a large-scale waste to energy project in 2012 and was CEO of New Energy, one of the three developers of the East Rockingham project. In February 2020 he moved into the role of General Manager – Commercial for East Rockingham Waste to Energy.

The $511 million East Rockingham WTE project is a 300,000 (plus 30,000 biosolids) tonne-per-annum energy from waste facility under construction in the Rockingham Industry Zone, south of Perth. On completion, the facility will deliver a cost-effective waste treatment solution and a vital source of dispatchable renewable energy, whilst achieving a 96% diversion of residual waste from landfill.

CIBSE WA are pleased to invite attendees to stay for a drink and networking after the event.
