Dubai Municipality has signed an agreement with Neutral Fuels LLC to replace diesel in its vehicles with clean biodiesel. The deal makes Dubai the first city in the world to adopt biodiesel made 100-percent locally from 100-percent waste cooking oil.
Neutral Fuels has been producing biodiesel in the UAE since 2010, when it became the first biodiesel manufacturer ever to be licensed in Dubai.
Dubai will be one of the world’s most sustainable cities by 2020, when the city hosts the World Expo. Our biodiesel initiative is a huge leap towards achieving this. We are pleased to take this next step with Neutral Fuels as they share our vision and have provided a solution that meets the needs of our growing city, said Hussain Lootah, director general of Dubai Municipality
HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, is driving initiatives to promote fuel efficiency and create a truly sustainable city within the next three decades, under his UAE Vision 2021 and Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030.
