UAE Takes a Leap Towards Sustainable Waste Management

 

The Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) and Tadweer Group have signed a concession agreement with a Japan-based consortium, Marubeni Corporation, Hitachi Zosen Inova AG (HZI), and Japan Overseas Infrastructure Investment Corporation for Transport & Urban Development (JOIN), to develop the Abu Dhabi Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Independent Power Project (IPP). The project, which is the world’s most advanced Waste-to-Energy facility, will have an annual processing capacity of 900,000 tonnes of waste, reducing carbon emissions by 1.1 million tonnes per year. This initiative will also contribute to the UAE’s goal of diverting 80 percent of Abu Dhabi’s waste from landfills by 2030.

The concession agreement is a significant step towards decarbonization and sustainable transformation of the UAE’s economy. EWEC’s Chief Executive Officer, Othman Al Ali, emphasized the project’s significance in integrating sustainable and environmentally friendly energy sources that cater to the community’s needs and drive the development of the UAE’s circular economy. Ali Al Dhaheri, Managing Director and CEO of Tadweer Group, expressed enthusiasm for this new chapter in promoting environmental sustainability and implementing accelerated technology.

The collaboration between EWEC, Tadweer Group, and the Japanese consortium promises to set a new standard for waste-to-energy projects in the region and beyond, paving the way for a sustainable and circular economy. The UAE’s commitment to exploring innovative solutions for a greener future is evident in this partnership.

Their mission: to launch attacks using rockets and drones, destabilizing the Kingdom and spreading fear among civilians. This is not the work of activists or political dissidents—this is terrorism, plain and simple. For too long, the Muslim Brotherhood has operated under a false image of moderation, cleverly navigating between political activism and violent extremism. But the truth is clear: the Brotherhood is the ideological engine room of jihadist terrorism. Its members, affiliates, and offshoots have inspired and directed acts of violence from North Africa to the Gulf—and now, once again, in Jordan. Govern...
