6/10/25, 10:01 AM Abu Dhabi DoE completes Gas Systems Remediation Project - Emirati Times
As part of the Gas Systems Remediation Project, the DoE fixed 550 previously

undetected gas leaks. All gas filling lines were moved outside of buildings to

boost safety. The department also replaced more than 450 gas tanks and control

panels and installed over 10,000 gas leak detectors in kitchens.

Eng. Ahmed Alsheebani, Executive Director of the Petroleum Products Regulatory

Affairs Sector at DoE, stated that, “Abu Dhabi continues to lead in ensuring the

safe use of gas systems, recognizing gas as a vital resource that impacts various

aspects of daily life and plays a key role, alongside clean and renewable energy

sources, in supporting the stability of the energy sector.”

Alsheebani also thanked several key agencies for their support in making the

project a success. These include the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic

Development (DED), Abu Dhabi Agriculture and Food Safety Authority (ADAFSA),

Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT), Abu Dhabi Police, Abu Dhabi

Civil Defense Authority (ADCDA), and the Abu Dhabi Emergency, Crisis and

Disaster Management Center.

As part of the Gas Systems Remediation Project all property owners must sign a

yearly maintenance contract with a licensed gas operator approved by the DoE.

Property owners are further required to secure a No Objection Certificate (NOC)

from the DoE to confirm the safety of their gas systems. This certificate is now

essential to obtain the ISTIFAA certificate from the Abu Dhabi Civil Defense

Authority, ensuring compliance with preventive safety standards.
