The Sharjah Waste to Energy Plant, the first of its kind in the Middle East, has recorded a number of achievements since its inception in 2022.

Sharjah Waste to Energy plant’s rate of waste treatment in the emirate reached 90% as the conversion of non-recyclable waste into clean electric energy connects 2,000 homes in Sharjah in the current period, while 28,000 homes will be linked soon .

The Sharjah Waste to Energy Plant converts non-recyclable waste into energy, through the incineration process to turn waste into heat, which is used to operate an electric turbine, where the net generated electric power is about 27 megawatts, and it is distributed through the main electricity network in Sharjah. The plant appropriately treats the gas emitting from the process, as it releases to the air without any effect.
