[…] Waste-to-energy and recycling are complementary depending on the results of analyses of the First and Second Laws of Thermodynamics, which are absolutely valid. One can decide in specific situations whether waste-to-energy or whether some type of recycling technology would be more appropriate. It is not an either/or option. […]

[…] Saudi Arabia produces around 15 million tons of garbage each year. With an approximate population of about 28 million, the kingdom produces approximately 1.3 kilograms of waste per person every day. According to a recent study conducted by Abu Dhabi Center for Waste Management, the amount of waste in UAE totaled 4.892 million tons, with a daily average of 6935 tons in the city of Abu Dhabi, 4118 tons in Al Ain and 2349 tons in the western region. Countries like Kuwait, Bahrain and Qatar have astonishingly high per capita waste generation rate, primarily because of high standard of living and lack of awareness about sustainable waste management practices.

Excellent article Dr Nizami. I cannot help but think the combination of sewage, food scrap waste, and recycled paper sludge could be combined with water harvesting earthworks to create and build soil, and help with vegetative re-establishment. I do not understand why more desert/desertified climates do not do this. I guess funding and getting public participation to actually separate the waste are two big reasons. Energy from waste though is still an example goal. Good luck with your work sir.

as i look in the desert I see animals like camels eating trash this makes me think about their health and care and the most important thing about the animals is there care
I believe this is a problem because animals are eating it and they could die we can help by taking it out.
If there was no garbage in Riyadh animals like camels snakes imagine how Riyadh will look like without trash.

and there were a lot of animals but they all died like cheetahs animals are non renewable resources so if there was no trash a lot of animals would still be alive so if we save the rest of the animals In Riyadh.

So we can look how it use to be i think it’s important to take care of the garbage your throwing because everyday you throw 15 million tons and there is a population of 29 million .
Did you know the Saudi government gave 30 billion Dollars to make a recycling company a few years later they gave 54 billion dollars to clean the ocean and desert so they can

The most important thing is where is it going? It go to the desert and there was a lot of animals in Riyadh but they all died like cheetahs
. Once when i was having a walk I noticed there was a lot of garbage
that’s why everyone should know what there doing to the environment and
recaycale

This paper is good example of what could be done if goverments empower their municipalities and power generation companies to get together and start building plants that use waste to generate energy, I am in the area of building and operate power plants and we got the capital and know how experience to build these plants based on a government guarantee of the PPA, basically can finance the whole project and operate the same for minimum 20 years and then give it for free to the government.

There ain’t better deal than that however, there are many countries and goverments that prefer to bury the waste underground of even worse dump it and make mountains of hazardous waste in open lands that can contribute to longterm hazard.
