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.
