Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, UAE Minister of Climate Change and
Environment.
Bee’ah, the country’s leading environmental management company,
and Masdar, Abu Dhabi’s renewable energy company, have formally
established the joint venture Emirates Waste to Energy Company
(EWEC) to develop waste-to-energy plants across the region.
In line with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin
Muhammad Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of
Sharjah, around environmental challenges and ways of maintaining a
pollution free environment, the first project will be the Sharjah
Multi-Fuel Waste-to-Energy Facility. The plant will be the first in
the region and will treat, within its first phase, more than
300,000 tonnes of municipal solid waste (MSW) each year and have a
power capacity of around 30 megawatts (MW).
Bee’ah set the ambitious target for Sharjah to achieve zero
waste when the company was created back in 2007. At present, the
emirate diverts 70% of its waste away from landfill. With the
completion of this new facility, Sharjah will soon become the first
city in the Middle East to achieve the target of 100% diversion of
waste from landfill.
