PARIS–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#EnergyFromWasteBee’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.
