Massive waste to energy facility to be built in Sharjah(UAE)

by Arushi Madan | 20-06-2014 17:52


Recently Sharjah announced that it will be constructing a massive waste to energy facility in Sharjah(the cultural emirate/state of UAE) .

 

The energy-from-waste facility will involve a pyrolysis and gasification-based system that converts organic waste material into a synthetic gas that is not unlike natural gas. The gas that is created can be used to fuel steam turbines and high-performance gas engines, resulting in the generation of renewable energy.

 

It is anticipated that by the end of next year, the first phase of the facility will be open. By the time the second phase is finished, the Sharjah plant will be capable of processing 48,000 tons of waste annually.

 

It will recover metal and generate clean energy, which it will obtain by processing a diverse array of recycling and waste residues.

 

It is estimated that the plant will produce enough energy to power more than 150,000 homes.

 

In addition, the waste to energy facility is expected to produce potable water that will be utilized for irrigation and landscaping and it will also reduce 400,000 tons of CO2 every year.

 

I am glad to share that this waste to energy plant will be capable of producing 80 MW per hour of electricity.
