Abu Dhabi's AlBihouth waste-to-energy facility is 90% complete
By Staff Writer
Abu Dhabi-based waste management and recycling services company Tadweer Group said the construction of its AlBihouth waste-to-energy facility is 90 percent complete, with pressure tests on the facility's two boilers successfully completed.
Once operational, the facility is expected to process approximately 900,000 tonnes of waste and generate enough electricity to power approximately 52,000 homes, WAM news agency reported, quoting a company statement.
The project will also support Abu Dhabi's ambition to divert 80 percet of its waste away from landfill by 2031.
Tadweer Group, Japan's Marubeni Corporation, Switzerland-based Kanadevia Inova and the Japan Overseas Infrastructure Investment Corporation for Transport & Urban Development are co-developing the project.
