Saudi Arabia Waste to Energy Solutions Market Trends & Drivers:
Saudi Arabia's waste to energy solutions market is experiencing accelerated growth driven by the Kingdom's ambitious Vision 2030 sustainability goals and the government's commitment to achieving net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2060. The Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture announced in January 2024 a comprehensive strategy to recycle up to 95% of the nation's waste, adding SR120 billion (USD 31.99 billion) to the GDP while creating over 100,000 jobs and targeting nearly 100 million tons of annual waste recycling capacity.
The rapidly increasing waste generation crisis is creating urgent demand for efficient waste management solutions, with Saudi Arabia producing more than 110 million tons of waste annually in 2024, with 43% originating from major urban centers including Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. This growing waste burden is putting severe pressure on existing landfill sites, creating opportunities for waste-to-energy technologies that can convert large quantities of municipal and industrial waste into practical energy forms including electricity and heat while reducing landfill dependency.
Government initiatives are accelerating market development through supportive policies, incentives, and public-private partnerships that encourage modern WTE technology adoption. The Renewable Energy Project Development Office (REPDO) has introduced structured frameworks for waste-to-energy project development as part of the broader strategy to diversify the energy mix, with Saudi Arabia aiming to generate 50% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030 and achieve 130 GW of renewable energy capacity including significant contributions from waste-to-energy solutions.
