Abstract

This paper mainly aims to provide an overview of the waste-to-energy project, including the current status, challenges, future vision, and overall project benefits, to show how Amman City has made a reasonably successful step toward implementing waste-to-energy technologies for urban sustainability and resource efficiency. This research is an observational study with a qualitative analysis approach. This study used secondary data from 2003 to 2020 from the Al Ghabawi landfill of Amman City by reviewing the document literature, conducting site visits, and interviewing the waste-to-energy project manager. Waste-to-energy projects provide environmental, energy, and economic benefits that show the positive impact of the waste-to-energy project in Amman City. Therefore, the challenge is to encourage the rational use of natural resources and make people participate in waste-to-energy projects. This challenge is analyzed on the basis of the stakeholders, policymakers, and donors who play a major role in reducing pollution by using landfill gas for energy production, promoting waste recycling, and making landfill gas projects economically feasible. This assessment can initially contribute to the policy formulation process. Urban planning works for Amman's vision of a sustainable and resilient city.
