Sustainable Aviation Fuel usage

February 14, 2024 SaudiGulf Projects Power

BESIX, a pioneer in sustainable waste solutions and a key player in the region’s energy transition, proudly announces
the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Dubai Municipality, Emirates National Oil Company
(ENOC), and Marubeni to revolutionize the aviation industry. The presence of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed
Al Maktoum, President of the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and CEO and Chairman of the Emirates Group, at the
signing underscores its significance.

This consortium is a testament to the power of collaboration in catalysing meaningful change. Together, the collective
aim is ambitious: to eliminate landfilling, achieve “UAE Net Zero” by 2050, support the National Hydrogen Strategy,
and ensure compliance with new regulations on renewable fuels impacting the aviation industry.

BESIX, as an industrial equity provider, combines its construction expertise with the integration of waste management
technologies, facilitating the synthesis of diverse contributions towards SAF conversion. The collaboration with ENOC
and Marubeni, both renowned for their strength, ambitions, and expertise, is pivotal to ensuring the success of this joint
venture. Dubai Municipality anchors the initiative, providing indispensable resources including municipal solid waste
(MSW), energy for SAF conversion, and land for facility development, demonstrating their commitment to
sustainability and a shared vision for a better world.
