In Oman, Muscat Daily reported that Oman is advancing its first large-scale waste-to-energy (WTE) project in Barka, located in the South Batinah governorate.
The report noted that this strategic initiative marks a shift from conventional landfill-based waste disposal to energy recovery through advanced incineration technology. The project aims to process approximately 3,000 tons of municipal solid waste daily, with a projected power generation capacity ranging between 95 and 100 megawatts, the report added.
Expected to begin commercial operations in the second quarter of 2031, the facility will contribute to reducing around 302,000 tons of waste annually. It will also supply an estimated 260 GWh of renewable electricity per year to the national grid.
