Holding Invests in Biodiesel

Champion BiOD Technology FZCO

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates – In a move that strengthens the UAE’s position in the green energy

sector, DUBAL Holding, the emirate’s sovereign wealth fund with a focus on sustainable investments,
announced the acquisition of an equity stake in BiOD Technology FZCO. BiOD holds the distinction of

being the largest biodiesel manufacturer not only in the UAE but across the entire GCC region.

The partnership between the two entities is touted as a strategic collaboration with far-reaching

environmental and economic benefits. BiOD’s core technology revolves around transforming used
cooking oils (UCO) and palm oil mill effluent (POME) into clean biodiesel. This innovative approach

not only promotes a circular economy but also demonstrably reduces greenhouse gas emissions by a
certified 84%. The company’s commitment to environmental responsibility is further underscored by its

achievement of ISCC certification.

DUBAL Holding’s CEO, Ahmad bin Fahad, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership,

highlighting its perfect alignment with the organization’s strategic vision of investing in environmentally
conscious and technologically pioneering businesses. He voiced his confidence that this collaboration

would not just contribute significantly to sustainable development within the UAE but would also serve
as a model for responsible environmental practices on a global scale.

muscle, is expected to provide BiOD with the impetus to propel its growth trajectory and further solidify
the UAE’s role as a leader in the global green energy landscape.
