Masdar has offloaded<\/strong> its stake in the Sharjah Waste-to-Energy (WtE) plant to Tadweer <\/strong>Group <\/strong>pending closing conditions, as the renewables giant shifts its focus to its international renewables portfolio, according to a statement<\/a>. Tadweer will now become a partner in the JV operating the plant with Bee\u2019ah Group. No financial details were disclosed for the transaction.<\/p>\n

The rationale:<\/strong> Masdar wants to shift its focus to its core business and its goal of expanding its global renewables portfolio to 100 GW by 2030, the statement adds.<\/span><\/p>\n

About the plant:<\/strong> The project<\/a>, launched in 2022, was the first commercial-scale waste-to-energy plant in the Middle East. It processes some 300k tons of waste annually and has a capacity of 30 MW. <\/p>\n

Next steps: <\/strong>Bee\u2019ah and Tadweer will jointly own and operate the plant and advance plans to expand the project\u2019s capacity, the statement adds. Masdar and Bee\u2019ah agreed<\/a> earlier this year to double the plant's capacity to 60 MW, where it will double the processing capacity to 600k tons and offset some 1 mn tonnes of CO2 emissions annually. <\/p>\n

Tadweer is gobbling up waste:<\/strong> The firm, which launched an AI-integrated waste management platform<\/a> in Abu Dhabi to address the full waste lifecycle earlier this year, is exploring a pilot program with the Climate Change and Environment Ministry to pay consumers for discarded devices to encourage recycling electronic waste<\/a>. It also signed an agreement with China\u2019s SFECO Group to explore the development of a facility in Abu Dhabi to convert industrial solid waste<\/a> into sustainable building materials.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
