Approximately 3-5% of global Green House Gas (GHG) emissions come from the waste sector

Approximately 3-5% of global Green House Gas (GHG) emissions come from the waste sector; this is more than the aviation sector. Waste represents an opportunity for value creation, which can also play a key role in addressing global energy security challenges. Waste is an opportunity, and the Abu Dhabi waste to energy (Albihouth) facility highlights how we can harness this resource for a sustainable future.

ISWA’s Position on Waste Incineration with Energy Recovery

The International Solid Waste Association (ISWA) has a mission to globally promote and develop sustainable and professional waste management and the transition to a circular economy. In this position paper, ISWA presents its position on waste incineration with energy recovery in an integrated sustainable waste management system based on the principles of the waste hierarchy and driven by the urgent need for a transition to a circular economy.

What is Waste-to-Energy?

Waste-to-energy (WtE) technology involves converting municipal solid waste into usable energy, typically through processes like incineration, gasification, or anaerobic digestion. The waste is burned or broken down to produce heat, which is then used to generate electricity or heat buildings. The benefits to the environment are significant: WtE reduces the volume of waste sent to landfills, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and provides a renewable source of energy. By diverting waste from landfills, it also helps mitigate soil and water pollution, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable environment.

Waste Into Energy

Abu Dhabi Waste to Energy Plant, as part of the road map for sustainable waste management practices in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, will be able to transform municipal solid waste into electricity. The facility has an installed capacity to generate 80MW of electricity.

900,000 tonnes waste

A state-of-the-art two-line waste-to-energy plant, capable of treating 900,000 tonnes of waste annually, stands as a beacon of innovation and sustainability. By converting vast amounts of waste into sustainable energy, this facility reduces our landfill dependency.

50,000 Homes

This cutting-edge waste-to-energy plant can generate 80MW renewable energy to power 50,000 homes. By transforming waste into valuable energy, it plays a crucial role in promoting sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of waste disposal.
