The City of Dubai chose a joint venture between Kanadevia Inova and BESIX (Belgium) to build the biggest WtE plant in the world. The plant is in commercial operation since July 2024. It is processing 1,890,000 tons of municipal waste a year to produce energy for around 120,000 households.

Dubai waste management center is being built in the Warsan area and will turn an average of 5,500 tons of waste into renewable energy every day. It will be able to use up to 45% of the local municipal waste volume, in turn significantly minimising the volume of municipal waste in landfills. The 193 MW of electricity generated from this waste will be fed into the city’s grid as base load power, supplying some 120,000 households. Besides its sheer size, it will be this WtE plant’s overall efficiency that makes it so unique. With a net energy efficiency of more than 30%, Dubai’s future waste incineration plant will rank among the very best in the world.
