The initiative follows the successful completion of a study that confirmed the technical and economic feasibility of a large-scale plant capable of transforming approximately 500,000 tons of biomass and municipal solid waste annually into SAF using an advanced gasification process combined with green hydrogen.

The project will utilize electrolysis powered by renewable energy to produce green hydrogen, which will then be integrated with the syngas generated from waste to produce SAF using established chemical pathways within the industry. This combination will position Abu Dhabi as a strategic regional hub for low-emission aviation fuels, directly contributing to the decarbonization of one of the world’s most important air hubs.

Leaders from both organizations emphasized the significance of the agreement. Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, CEO of Masdar, emphasized that the collaboration will promote the global energy transformation and strengthen the UAE’s leadership in sustainable aviation. Ali Al Dhaheri, CEO of Tadweer Group, stated that the project demonstrates the potential of waste as a key energy resource and will support the national goal of net-zero emissions.

The initiative will also contribute to diverting 80% of Abu Dhabi’s landfill waste by 2030, aligning with multiple national strategies related to clean energy, low-carbon hydrogen, and climate mitigation. Once operational, the project will supply diverse markets and generate new value chains in waste management, green hydrogen, and renewable fuels.
