DUBAI, (Pakistan Point News - 28th Jul, 2025) 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

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
