    Waste-to-energy produces emissions, which is why it's usually considered suitable for disposing only of the final remnants of trash after all recyclable materials have been extracted. Image Credit: Bloomberg

    For Sharjah, opening the plant will mean it can plug its dumpsite. Bee'ah, the company managing Sharjah's waste, says it will create green spaces and install a 120-megawatt solar-power facility on top and produce hydrogen from the garbage to fuel its rubbish trucks. Image Credit: Bloomberg

    Bee'ah Chief Executive Officer Khaled Al Huraimel said he wants to build more waste-to-energy facilities in the region, including Saudi Arabia. "They're starting from scratch, but we started from scratch too," he said. Image Credit: Bloomberg
