據油氣新聞網5月19日報道，日前，迪拜市政府宣布，其瓦桑（Warsan）污水處理廠的沼氣發電項目已完工。

該項目是該市可再生能源舉措之一，支持其將資產轉化為綠色可持續資產的戰略計劃。其年發電量為44250兆瓦時。

日發電量為6兆瓦的該沼氣發電廠，將滿足瓦桑污水處理廠全部運營需求的50%。

根據迪拜政府的指示，該市與私營部門合作完成了該項目，以促進公私雙方的生產性伙伴關系，為能源需求提供有效的解決方案。該項目將通過利用替代能源提供可持續的解決方案，每年進一步減少31000噸的碳排放量，并在25年內將工廠的運營成本降低3.2億迪拉姆。

迪拜市總干事Dawud Al Hajri表示，沼氣項目是迪拜市的重要舉措之一，旨在與私營部門合作，利用可持續清潔資源生產可再生電力。

Al Hajri指出，通過使工廠能夠獲得運營所需的電力，該倡議除了提高運營成本效益外，還為迪拜市主要支柱戰略服務，如循環經濟和可持續性。

他補充道，這反映了迪拜市實施創新和環保項目的戰略。該工廠也體現了該市致力于實施項目和采用解決方案，以促進迪拜的可持續發展，并支持其成為世界上最佳的居住城市的愿景。

據他介紹，Warsan污水處理廠通過其處理工藝每天產生57000立方米的沼氣。并補充道，通過該項目，每天約54800立方米將用于生產121兆瓦時的電力，滿足Warsan工廠50%的需求。該項目以擁有全自動操作而聞名，擁有350多套全天候連續監控操作的工具。

Dubai completes work on key biogas-to-energy project

Dubai Municipality has announced the completion of its biogas-to-energy project at its Warsan Wastewater Treatment Plant.

The project is one of the Municipality’s renewable energy initiatives that support its strategic plan to transform its assets into green sustainable assets. It has the capacity to generate 44,250 MWh of electricity annually.

The biogas power facility’s daily power generation capacity of 6 MW will cover 50% of the Warsan Wastewater Treatment Plant’s entire operational needs.

The Municipality completed the project in partnership with the private sector, in line with the directives of the Dubai Government to foster productive private-sector partnerships that generate effective solutions for energy needs, reported Wam.

The project will contribute to providing sustainable solutions by utilising alternative energy sources, further reducing annual carbon emissions by 31,000 tonnes, in addition to decreasing the plant’s operational cost by AED320 million over 25 years, it stated.

Dawoud Al Hajri, Director General of Dubai Municipality, said: "The biogas project is one of Dubai Municipality’s key initiatives aimed at generating renewable energy from sustainable and clean resources in partnership with the private sector."

"“By enabling the plant to support itself with the power required for its operations, the initiative serves the major pillars of Dubai Municipality’s strategy such as the circular economy and sustainability, in addition to raising the cost-effectiveness of its operations," noted Al Hajri.

"This reflects Dubai Municipality's strategy for implementing innovative and environmentally friendly projects. The plant also embodies the Municipality’s commitment to implementing projects and adopting solutions that promote sustainability in Dubai and support its vision to be the world’s best city to live in," he added.

According to him, the Warsan Wastewater Treatment Plant produces 57,000 cu m of biogas per day as a result of its treatment procedures.

Through the project, approximately 54,800 cu m per day will be used to produce 121 MWh of electricity, meeting 50% of the Warsan plant’s needs. The project stands out for having fully automated operations with more than 350 tools that continuously monitor operations 24/7," he added.
