Tadweer, Qatar’s KEO collaborate on feasible study for energy from greenhouse gases

Abu Dhabi Waste Management Centre (Tadweer) has signed a consultancy agreement with Qatar-based KEO International Consultants to conduct a feasibility study for developing a project on extracting greenhouse gases (GHG) from the Al Dhafra landfill and converting them into environmentally-friendly energy.

This aligns with the Centre’s plan to achieve an efficient waste management system and use the best methods for processing and handling waste. Under the agreement, KEO International Consultants will provide consulting services and a feasibility study that covers the technical, financial, and environmental aspects for the development and operation of the project to extract and convert gas into environmentally-friendly energy sources.

This will include studying the requirements of the local market and the UAE’s needs for the project and areas for benefiting from the greenhouse gases generated in the landfill in Al Dhafra.

The agreement also includes drilling operations, gas pumping tests, and the quantities expected to be generated within 10 years within the specified site, as well as evaluating the properties of the extracted gas. KEO will also develop and set the terms of the bid before announcing the bidding for the project.
