据油气新闻网5月19日报道，日前，迪拜市政府宣布，其瓦桑（Warsan）污水处理厂的沼气发电项目已完工。

该项目是该市可再生能源举措之一，支持其将资产转化为绿色可持续资产的战略计划。其年发电量为44250兆瓦时。

日发电量为6兆瓦的该沼气发电厂，将满足瓦桑污水处理厂全部运营需求的50%。

根据迪拜政府的指示，该市与私营部门合作完成了该项目，以促进公私双方的生产性伙伴关系，为能源需求提供有效的解决方案。该项目将通过利用替代能源提供可持续的解决方案，每年进一步减少31000吨的碳排放量，并在25年内将工厂的运营成本降低3.2亿迪拉姆。

迪拜市总干事Dawud Al Hajri表示，沼气项目是迪拜市的重要举措之一，旨在与私营部门合作，利用可持续清洁资源生产可再生电力。

Al Hajri指出，通过使工厂能够获得运营所需的电力，该倡议除了提高运营成本效益外，还为迪拜市主要支柱战略服务，如循环经济和可持续性。

他补充道，这反映了迪拜市实施创新和环保项目的战略。该工厂也体现了该市致力于实施项目和采用解决方案，以促进迪拜的可持续发展，并支持其成为世界上最佳的居住城市的愿景。

据他介绍，Warsan污水处理厂通过其处理工艺每天产生57000立方米的沼气。并补充道，通过该项目，每天约54800立方米将用于生产121兆瓦时的电力，满足Warsan工厂50%的需求。该项目以拥有全自动操作而闻名，拥有350多套全天候连续监控操作的工具。

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.
