The UAE has unveiled its National Policy on Biofuels, recently approved by the UAE Cabinet, to support the country’s transition to clean and sustainable energy sources.
The policy was developed by the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI) in collaboration with strategic partners from both the public and private sectors. It aims to provide sustainable fuel alternatives and diversify the energy mix.
Suhail bin Mohammed Al Mazrouei, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, said the policy will play a key role in reducing carbon emissions. “The policy will contribute to cutting carbon emissions by increasing the consumption of biodiesel by 20% by 2050. It will lower the carbon footprint of diesel vehicles by 75% if they run entirely on biodiesel,” he stated.
He further added that the National Policy on Biofuels is perfectly in line with the UAE Energy Strategy 2050, which is projected to bring principles of circular economy across various sectors such as infrastructure, mobility, and manufacturing. With this policy, the economy also will grow from the waste turned into input to produce biofuels.
