One of Papua New Guinea's largest companies and investors, Oil Search, has teamed up with Swedish energy, industry and infrastructure design and consulting company AFRY and the Climate Change and Development Authority of Papua New Guinea for a new project combining biomass and solar power. The PNG Biomass project is an integrated renewable energy project combining a 30MW biomass plant and a solar PV farm. On 6 December the companies signed a memorandum of understanding at the 25 th Conference of the Parties (COP25) in Madrid, Spain. Ninning Jal, health, safety and environment supervisor for PNG Biomass, said: "PNG Biomass is the first proposed utility-scale renewable biomass and solar power generation project in Papua New Guinea. "We believe PNG Biomass will substantially enhance Papua New Guinea's reputation in demonstrating climate action and help transition the country to a fully renewable energy sector."
