The second plant, to be located in Al-Ain, has a planned processing capacity of up to 600,000 tonnes of waste annually and up to 60MW of electricity generation.

The plants will be developed according to the public-private partnership (PPP) model.

It is understood Emirates Water & Electricity Company (Ewec) will be the offtaker of the electricity generated by the two plants.

Abu Dhabi Waste Management Centre (Tadweer) will implement the project, which is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by approximately 2.5 million tonnes annually.

The projects are in line with the UAE’s Vision 2021, which aims to divert 75% of waste away from landfills.
