Beeah Group’s Srf Facility To Produce High-quality Green Fuel | |
| Staff Writer |
With a view to transforming commercial residue waste into a high-quality alternative green fuel in cement factories, where the fuel will be injected into the kilns during production, BEEAH Recycling, a waste processing, and material recovery business under BEEAH Group have added a new Solid Recovered Fuel (SRF) facility to its state-of-the-art, integrated waste management complex in Al Sajaa, Sharjah.

The facility is among ten other recycling facilities managed and operated by BEEAH Recycling that have so far contributed to a 76% landfill waste diversion in the emirate, the highest in the Middle East.
Speaking about the new facility, Daker El-Rabaya, CEO of BEEAH Recycling, said, "This recycling facility realized the twin benefit of reducing carbon emissions for the cement production industry while increasing landfill waste rate diversion. It is a huge leap forward for our recycling business, which has been focused on working towards a circular economy and zero-waste to landfill. Now, we are furthering our impact by producing specialized green, alternative fuels."
The SRF Facility currently has a production capacity of 85,000 tonnes of alternative green fuel every year, which amounts to 250 tonnes per day. The waste processing model is the first of its kind in the region and it produces an alternative green fuel that is high-value, low moisture, and low in chlorine content, which is a more sustainable and lower emissions alternative to coal that is typically used in cement production.
Sharjah Cement, which is located close to BEEAH Recycling's Waste Management Complex, has entered an agreement to receive 73,000 tonnes of alternative green fuel from the SRF facility every year hence minimizing waste being diverted to landfills, contributing to the circular economy, and producing lower emission, waste-derived alternative fuels.
Pravinchandra Batavia, CEO of Sharjah Cement, said, "We are excited to enter this agreement with BEEAH Recycling. By using this high-efficiency green alternative to coal, we will be able to meet production targets effectively, and move closer to our sustainability goals while supporting a circular economy and contributing to lower emissions."
