DWMC waste-to-energy project to start operations in Q1 2023 – Construction Week Online

Dubai Municipality has stated that Dubai Waste Management Centre (DWMC), which is the world’s largest waste-to-energy project, will commence its initial operations at the beginning of 2023.

Two of the centre’s five treatment lines will operate initially, generating 80 Mwh of renewable energy by processing 2000 tons of solid waste in a day.

DWMC will operate in accordance with the Municipality’s strategies to reduce the volume of solid waste sent to landfills and create alternative sustainable energy sources. In line with the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the vision of the Municipality, the centre will also contribute to the establishment of a sustainable and eco-friendly system for waste management in the emirate.
