The Yemen’s First Waste-to-Energy (WtE) Plant is a new development initiative located in the coastal Lahj Governorate, south of Aden.1 Launched in 2021 with the installation of 500 kg-per-hour pyrolysis unit at a municipal dump site by UNDP, the project introduces an innovative approach to municipal waste management.2
The project’s vision is “to convert solid waste into affordable electricity to support Yemen prosperity”.3 It aims to reduce open-air burning that exacerbates respiratory diseases,4 lower dependence on diesel fuel by supplying clean power to surrounding communities,5 and create green jobs for displaced youth and women.6
