DUBAI, 28th July, 2025 (WAM) — Dubai Municipality has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
with BiOD Technology FZCO, a subsidiary of DUBAL Holding, marking a major stride toward advancing
environmental sustainability and fostering a circular economy in the emirate.

The agreement outlines strategic cooperation focused on converting used cooking oils (UCO) and fats, oils, and
grease (FOG) into B100 biodiesel, a clean and renewable fuel.

The MoU was signed in the presence of senior officials including Fahad Al-Awadhi, Director of Sewerage and
Recycled Water Projects Department at Dubai Municipality; Yousef Bastaki, Board Member of BiOD
Technology; and Shiva Viga, CEO of BiOD Technology.

The collaboration aligns with Dubai’s long-term sustainability strategies, supports local green economy growth,
and strengthens the emirate’s transition to cleaner energy sources.

As per the terms of the MoU, BiOD Technology is authorised to collect UCO and FOG from across Dubai and
process them into biodiesel. The initiative not only helps prevent these waste materials from polluting the
sewage infrastructure, but also significantly reduces the environmental footprint and operational costs associated
with wastewater treatment.

Adel Al Marzooqi, CEO of the Waste and Sewerage Agency at Dubai Municipality, said, “This partnership
represents a significant step in our mission to advance Dubai’s environmental agenda through innovative and
sustainable waste-to-energy solutions. By turning waste into a valuable energy resource, we not only protect vital
infrastructure and reduce environmental risks but also contribute effectively to achieving the goals outlined in
Dubai’s Vision 2030 for environmental sustainability.”

Ahmed bin Fahad Al Muhairi, Chairman of the Board of BioD Technology, stated, “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.”
