In response to Amman’s urgent need for investment in solid waste management, the EBRD is providing a blended financing package of up to €7.4 million to the Greater Amman Municipality (GAM) to finance the expansion of the landfill gas (LFG) recovery system currently operating in Al Ghabawi landfill.

This investment marks the third sub-project under GAM’s Solid Waste Crisis Response Programme. The EBRD’s funds will assist GAM in capping cell 4 of the landfill and subsequently connecting it to an existing LFG recovery system, thus capturing methane gas and utilising it for the production of clean energy.
