Waste-to-energy: The green answer to the UAE’s power issues?

Over the past few years, the UAE has been in a constant state of transformation. Factors such as climate change and resource scarcity have catalysed the country to adopt a forward-looking approach.

One of these challenges has been the rising demand for energy to power the country’s economic ambitions, that has translated to a need to look beyond fossil fuels. Oil dependency has declined in the UAE from 90 percent in 1980, to below 60 percent by 2005. While this is a commendable fact, there is now an urgent need for clean sources of energy to bridge the gap between supply and demand.

Powerhouse Energy Group PLC (LON:PHE) has developed the innovative PHE DMG® System, their proprietary thermal conversion technology. DMG® technology provides a mechanism to dispose of a wide range of waste streams by using them as feedstock that can be converted to EcoSynthesis Gas.
