Emirates Waste and Electricity Company is inviting bidders to build Abu Dhabi s first waste-to-energy power project as the emirate continues to diversify its energy mix and pursue its carbon emission goals.
The plant, which will be located near Al Dhafra landfill in Abu Dhabi, will have the capacity to process between 600,000 and 900,000 tonnes of waste annually.
It will generate enough power to meet the needs of about 22,500 households and will divert the equivalent of 1.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions a year, the company said. We are actually translating waste into fuel. So, we do something good with it, Rene Matthies, Ewec s chief financial officer, told
