(Business in Cameroon) - On November 20, 2014, Hygiène et salubrité du Cameroun (Hysacam), which handles ten household waste disposal contracts in Cameroonian towns and cities, opened its second biogas catchment and treatment plant.

Financed with a loan by Ecobank, the new facility will help to avoid putting the methane produced by the household waste entering the atmosphere in order to reduce greenhouse gases considerably. The company plans to convert gas into electricity.

Hysacam had already launched the country’s first biogas catchment and treatment plant on June 29, 2011 in the Cameroonian capital’s suburbs where there is a massive landfill. This investment cost 3 billion FCFA obtained thanks to a bank loan.
