Go Green

The Sharjah Waste to Energy Facility has processed 1,000,000 tons of waste since inauguration, marking a major operational milestone in Sharjah’s zero-waste to landfill journey while contributing to the UAE’s progressive energy strategy towards net-zero emissions. As the plant advances into its highly anticipated Phase 2 expansion, it continues to generate 30 MW of low-carbon electricity for the Sharjah public grid while offsetting 450,000 tons of CO2 emissions annually through landfill diversion. Established in 2022 as a flagship project of the Emirates Waste to Energy Company, a joint venture between BEEAH and Tadweer Group, the Sharjah Waste to Energy plant is the region’s first commercial-scale facility of its kind. As part of Sharjah’s broader circular ecosystem, it has played a transformative role in achieving the emirate’s 93% landfill diversion rate, complementing the integrated recycling operations at BEEAH’s state-of-the-art facilities within the Waste Management Complex in Al Saja’a.

The UAE has never lacked for premium SUVs. A drive to any major district in Dubai presents immediate evidence: a rolling inventory of flagships, each vehicle representing the manufacturer’s best attempt at a high-performance luxury project. For decades, the purchase decision in this segment was heavily weighted toward brand cachet and feature density. The number of screens, quantity of leather, size of the rims, shape of the DRLs, and so on. But a meaningful evolution is underway, driven not purely by fashion but also economics and infrastructure. The question premium buyers are now asking is how practical it is to own a vehicle over the long term.

As fuel prices spike across the UAE, now is the best time to purchase a fuel-efficient vehicle.
