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."
