In the UAE, 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.
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.
