A Global Benchmark in Waste-to-Energy Technology
Touted as the world’s most advanced Waste-to-Energy (WtE) facility, and one of the largest in the region, the project will boast an impressive annual processing capacity of 900,000 tonnes of waste. This groundbreaking initiative is expected to reduce carbon emissions by a staggering 1.1 million tonnes per year, setting a new benchmark for WtE energy projects in terms of scale, efficiency, and environmental benefits.
