Emarat Petroleum Company (Emarat) and Lootah Biofuels have signed an MoU to bolster renewable energy efforts and align with the UAE's sustainability goals.
The agreement supports the UAE Net Zero 2050 strategy and the National Biofuels Policy, aiming to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote clean energy.
Under the MoU, Emarat and Lootah Biofuels will expand the collection network for used cooking oils through Emarat’s retail stations.
This initiative will facilitate biofuel production, offering an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fossil fuels. The partnership also explores introducing biodiesel (B5) at Emarat’s retail stations, in compliance with Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI) guidelines.
In addition, the collaboration includes feasibility studies to establish a sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) production facility, catering to the aviation sector’s growing need for eco-friendly solutions. The parties also plan to supply biodiesel to vessels in specific ports, supporting sustainable maritime transport and reinforcing the UAE’s role as a global logistics hub.
