The solar landfill project will be delivered across three phases, with the first phase due for completion in 2023. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cMasdar is proud to be extending our existing partnership with Bee\u2019ah through the Emirates Waste to Energy Company to develop this landmark project in Sharjah. Waste is a growing issue in the Gulf Cooperation Council region. However, this project highlights how we can utilize closed landfills to deliver clean energy, while simultaneously supporting the UAE\u2019s clean energy targets and UN Sustainable Development Goals. We are confident that this project can become a benchmark for other landfill sites in the region,\u201d said Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, Chief Executive Officer of Masdar.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 \u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cAs a pioneer of zero waste solutions, Bee\u2019ah is looking to create new value from<\/span><span class=\"s3\"> capped landfills while supporting the deployment of renewable energy in the UAE and I am confident that we can replicate this same model of success for other cities in the Middle East<\/span><span class=\"s1\">. Through Emirates Waste to Energy Company, we are proud to be partnering with Masdar to support the UAE\u2019s pioneering sustainability vision,\u201d said Khaled Al Huraimel, Group Chief Executive Officer of Bee\u2019ah, Chairman of the Emirates Waste to Energy Company. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Finding productive uses for closed landfills is a global industry issue due to stringent environmental monitoring and remediation requirements that can take up to 30 years. Redeveloping the landfill into a solar farm will add to Sharjah\u2019s renewable energy generation, and it is also economically and environmentally beneficial. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Emirates Waste to Energy Company will be responsible for the financing, design, procurement and construction. Under the terms of the lease agreement, operation and maintenance services will also be provided by the company for a 25-year period.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Established in 2017, Emirates Waste to Energy Company\u2019s first project is the Sharjah Waste to Energy facility housed in Bee\u2019ah\u2019s Waste Management Complex. The 30 MW Sharjah Waste to Energy project is currently under construction and is due for completion later this year. The power plant will divert approximately 300,000 tons of solid nonrecyclable waste from landfill each year, helping Sharjah achieve its zero waste-to-landfill target and the UAE\u2019s goal of diverting 75 percent of its municipal solid waste from landfill by 2021. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Solar photovoltaic panels to be installed on top of Bee\u2019ah\u2019s landfill in Sharjah \u2014 the first project of its kind in the UAE Project will provide up to 120 megawatts of clean energy and will be completed in three phases, with the first phase expected for completion by 2023 Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, January [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":798,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[65,51,66,63,64],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/emirateswte.ae\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/emirateswte.ae\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/emirateswte.ae\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/emirateswte.ae\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/emirateswte.ae\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=568"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"http:\/\/emirateswte.ae\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":784,"href":"http:\/\/emirateswte.ae\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/568\/revisions\/784"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/emirateswte.ae\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/798"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/emirateswte.ae\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=568"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/emirateswte.ae\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=568"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/emirateswte.ae\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=568"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
