Abu Dhabi - Mubasher: It was announced on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week (ADSW) 2017 that Masdar is developing a cutting-edge waste-to-energy plant in Sharjah, in partnership with Bee’ah, according to a press release.
Diverting as much as 300,000 tonnes of solid waste from landfill each year, the project will help Sharjah reach its zero waste-to-landfill target by 2020, and the UAE deliver on its 2021 goal of diverting 75% of solid waste from landfills.
The facility will incinerate up to 37.5 tonnes of solid waste per hour to create 30 megawatts of energy. This will add more power to what is produced by Bee'ah's auxiliary waste-to-energy project, which will eventually produce a total of 90 megawatts and will be supplied to the Sharjah electricity grid.
Masdar and Bee’ah signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to collaborate in the development of new energy projects at ADSW 2016.
