Green economy goals

The project also supports the UAE’s Green Economy goals, helping to reduce the environmental
footprint and operational costs of wastewater treatment. Restaurants and commercial kitchens,
some of the largest producers of waste oil, will play a key role in the collection process.

Ahmed bin Fahad Al Muhairi, Chairman of the Board of BiOD Technology, said: “We are pleased to
collaborate with Dubai Municipality on this initiative, a partnership that underscores our mutual
commitment to sustainable innovation. At BiOD Technology, our focus is on implementing
practical, impactful solutions that contribute to tangible environmental improvements and
advance Dubai’s circular economy goals. Moreover, in partnership with like-minded entities, we
strive to build a service ecosystem dedicated to making a positive global impact.”

Shiva Vig, CEO of BiOD Technology, added: “Leveraging cutting-edge technology and deep industry
expertise, we are transforming UCO and FOG into high-quality, renewable biodiesel. This
partnership marks an exciting step forward, and we are eager to expand our efforts into broader
initiatives that promote sustainable waste management and innovative recycling solutions.”
Dubai Municipality’s new initiative is the latest in a growing list of sustainable efforts aiming to
make the emirate a regional leader in waste-to-energy innovation. The MoU represents a significant
step forward in public-private collaboration, paving the way for scalable and high-impact
environmental solutions that promote the circular economy and protect Dubai’s infrastructure and
environment, the civic body stated.
