for EF Thermal Decomposition Plant, Cyprus

The EF Cyprus proposal aligns with EU Green Deal priorities and the National Waste Management Plan.

The project is built on a €2.5M hybrid model (grant + convertible loan) ensuring public ownership and long‑term national value.

A government‑owned model delivers complete financial retention, transparency, and infrastructure stability.

Implementation requires a 6‑month fast‑track permitting window, followed by deployment of four units (16 tons/day).

Executive Summary

Problem :
Cyprus landfills are operating at 75% capacity, and the country is not meeting EU recycling targets.

Proposed Solution :
Deployment of modular pyrolysis units (4 tons/day per unit) to convert municipal and industrial waste into renewable energy, forming the EF Cyprus Pyrolysis Recycling Plant.

Key Benefits for Cyprus:

• • 16 tons/day waste diversion in Year 1 (scaling to 80 tons/day by Year 5)
• • 9,600 tons CO₂ reduction annually at full capacity
• • Creation of 35+ green, high-value jobs

Impact :
This project directly addresses Cyprus’ urgent waste-management challenges while accelerating its transition to sustainable energy.The proposed co-investment will enable rapid deployment of modular pyrolysis units, significantly reducing landfill dependency, cutting national carbon emissions, and fostering a green, circular economy with new job opportunities.
