Oman aims to construct waste-to-energy plant

In Oman, Muscat Daily reported that Oman Power and Water Procurement Company and the Oman Environmental Services Holding (be’ah) have completed a technical and economic feasibility study for establishing an electric power generation plant using waste.

According to Abdulaziz al Shidhani, Director General of Renewable Energy and Hydrogen at the Ministry of Energy and Minerals, the Barka plant project to produce electric power from waste is the first project of its kind in Oman.

“A project is underway to establish Barka waste-to-energy (WTE) plant, as part of the efforts to achieve the Sultanate of Oman’s commitment to zero carbon neutrality by the year 2050. This step will improve the circular economy,” said Shidhani.
