據(jù)天然氣新聞2020年7月27日迪拜報(bào)道，由7個(gè)酋長(zhǎng)國(guó)組成的阿拉伯聯(lián)合酋長(zhǎng)國(guó)聯(lián)邦中面積第3大的酋長(zhǎng)國(guó)沙迦酋長(zhǎng)國(guó)計(jì)劃建造海灣地區(qū)的第一個(gè)廢物制太陽(yáng)能的設(shè)施，以推動(dòng)到2050年前清潔能源發(fā)電至少占該國(guó)發(fā)電量的44%。

總部設(shè)在沙迦的廢物管理和可再生能源公司Bee’ah 7月27日在一份聲明中表示，一旦垃圾填埋場(chǎng)封頂，該公司將把面積達(dá)47公頃的垃圾填埋場(chǎng)改造成太陽(yáng)能發(fā)電設(shè)施。這個(gè)項(xiàng)目完工后，每年將產(chǎn)生超過(guò)42兆瓦的電力，這些電力將來(lái)自垃圾填埋場(chǎng)的垃圾和太陽(yáng)能。

Bee'ah和阿布扎比清潔能源公司馬斯達(dá)爾公司的合資企業(yè)阿聯(lián)酋廢物制能源公司將分兩個(gè)階段在2021年啟動(dòng)這個(gè)項(xiàng)目。沙迦廢物制能源設(shè)施將在達(dá)到零廢物目標(biāo)后將垃圾填埋場(chǎng)轉(zhuǎn)變?yōu)樘?yáng)能發(fā)電場(chǎng)。

第一階段包括把27.0565萬(wàn)平方米的垃圾填埋場(chǎng)改造成24兆瓦的太陽(yáng)能發(fā)電廠，第二階段將再改造20.0099萬(wàn)平方米的垃圾填埋場(chǎng)，將創(chuàng)造16兆瓦的太陽(yáng)能發(fā)電。

沙迦廢物制能源設(shè)施具有每年處理30萬(wàn)噸不可回收廢物的能力。

目前主要依靠天然氣和水力發(fā)電的阿聯(lián)酋正在將可再生能源和核能納入其能源結(jié)構(gòu)中，以期騰出天然氣用于工業(yè)和其他部門(mén)的消費(fèi)。

UAE to build Gulf's first waste-to-solar project amid clean energy push

The UAE's emirate of Sharjah, the third biggest in the seven-member federation, plans to build the Gulf's first waste-to-solar energy facility amid a push to produce at least 44% of the country's power from clean energy by 2050.

Sharjah-based Bee'ah, a waste management and renewable energy company, will transform 47 ha of a landfill area into a solar energy facility once the landfill is capped, it said July 27 in a statement. The project will generate more than 42 MW of power a year from waste in a landfill and from the sun once it is complete.

Emirates Waste to Energy Co., a joint venture between Bee'ah and Abu Dhabi clean energy company Masdar, will launch the project in 2021 in two phases. The Sharjah Waste to Energy Facility will transform the landfill into a solar energy farm after reaching its zero-waste target.

The first phase includes converting 270,565 sq m of the landfill into a 24 MW solar farm and in phase two an additional 200,099 sq m will create 16 MW in solar power.

The Sharjah Waste to Energy Facility has an annual capacity of processing 300,000 mt of non-recyclable waste.

The UAE, which currently relies mostly on natural gas for power and water generation, is adding renewables and nuclear power to its energy mix as it frees up gas for consumption in industries and other sectors.
