Al Masaood Power Division unveils decarbonisation tech at Middle East Energy

Abu Dhabi-based Al Masaood Power Division, a key arm of the prominent Al Masaood Group, is debuting groundbreaking decarbonisation technology from its long-term global partner, Volvo Penta, at the 49th Middle East Energy exhibition and conference.

The event, slated for April 7-9 2025, at the Dubai World Trade Centre, promises to be a pivotal gathering for energy industry leaders, offering a platform to engage with top-tier energy providers, discover transformative innovations, and forge lasting business ties.

At booth H7 E10, Al Masaood Power Division will spotlight Volvo Penta’s latest advancements, including a scalable battery energy storage subsystem and a hydrogen dual-fuel engine. The battery subsystem, tailored for industrial use, boasts energy-dense batteries capable of rapid charging and discharging. Designed to balance power and efficiency, it aims to meet the diverse operational and commercial needs of modern businesses.

Focus on renewables

Meanwhile, Volvo Penta’s hydrogen dual-fuel solution, built on its Stage V D8 combustion engine, blends hydrogen with diesel to offer a flexible, forward-thinking option for companies navigating the shift toward sustainable energy. This follows the company’s broader push into renewable fuels, with its combustion engine platform already certified for hydro-treated vegetable oil (HVO). Models like the D17 genset engine are also in line for further renewable fuel enhancements, signaling Volvo Penta’s commitment to greener technology.

The Middle East Energy exhibition continues to serve as a vital hub for showcasing solutions that are reshaping the global energy landscape. For Al Masaood Power Division and Volvo Penta, this year’s event marks a significant opportunity to demonstrate how innovation can drive decarbonisation while meeting the region’s evolving energy demands.
