Dubai Municipality awarded the project “Al Qusais Landfill Waste Gas to Energy project on build and operate basis”
The project has been awarded to Belgium based Construction Company, BESIX.
Al Qusais Waste Gas to Energy Project:
Besix will build and operate the project for 16.5 years renewable energy production facilities at Al Qusais, Dubai.
The project will consists of capturing the gas from the Al Qusais landfill and treating it to produce electricity.
This recovery of methane, which is produced by the decomposition of organic fractions, is all the more sustainable as it prevents this environmentally harmful gas from escaping into the atmosphere.
Once the project commissioned, the facilities will comprise a network of 22 to 24 km of pipes and will treat up to 9,000 cu.m of landfill gas per hour.
The facilities will have a production capacity of 12 MW.
Dubai Municipality already signed a deal to construct world largest waste-to-energy plant. The project has been awarded to the Consortium of Besix and Hitachi Zosen Inova.
The project is in the final stages of financing and mobilization to site is expected in the first quarter of 2020.
