DUBAI - Dubai Municipality signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with N.V.Besix S.A.,
Marubeni Middle East and Africa Power Limited (MAMEA), and ENOC Marketing at the World
Governments Summit 2024.

The MoU was signed in the presence of H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of
Dubai Civil Aviation Authority, Chairman of Dubai Airports, and Chairman and Chief Executive of
Emirates Airlines and Group; and Abdulla Al Basti, Secretary-General of the Dubai Executive Council.

It aims to transform waste management practices in Dubai through an innovative project that utilises
cutting-edge technologies to treat mixed solid municipal waste, organic waste and green hydrogen
produced from sewage treatment processes to produce sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

The MoU aligns with the UAE’s sustainability policy and approach, emphasising the country's
dedication to environmental protection, resource conservation, and tackling climate change through
innovative initiatives and strategies that help achieve national environmental goals. This includes
carbon removal from the waste sector (zero waste) and cutting emissions associated with waste
management operations.
