ENOC subsidiary signs CNG deal with Dubai Municipality

Gas

Emirates Gas LLC (EMGAS), a subsidiary of Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC), has announced that it has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Dubai Municipality to use land and sewage waste to generate compressed natural gas (CNG)

EMGAS claimed that it is setting up an advanced facility to convert waste to bio-methane, which it will then compress in to natural gas that will be used as an automotive green fuel.

Hussain Nasser Lootah, director general of Dubai Municipality, said, "The new initiative is in line with the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum to promote path-breaking initiatives that add significant value to the community and environment.

"Dubai Municipality is keen to produce sustainable energy in order to preserve the environment and reduce carbon footprint in Dubai and the UAE in general, which will benefit citizens," he added.

The EMGAS facility will be constructed at the forthcoming Dubai Municipality sewage and landfill sites in Al Aweer and Al Qusais as per international CNG standards.

The CNG will be marketed for use as automotive fuel, which, EMGAS said, will help bring down carbon emissions and promote sustainable development. When the project is fully completed, it will be able to provide CNG to around 15,000 passenger cars and light commercial vehicles per day.

Nasser Lootah noted, "From introducing CNG in our public transport to now the physical production of biogas, we are demonstrating our focus on reducing greenhouse gas emission reductions and conserving our environment for our future generations.

"Currently, some 25,000 cu m of gas is being flared every day at the Al Aweer sewage treatment plant, while the Al Qusais land fill site is designed to deliver over 144,000 cu m of gas per day to its flare stack. This will be captured, treated and converted for use as CNG," he added.

Meanwhile, Saeed Khoory, CEO of ENOC, commented, "With the new initiative, we are not only contributing to conserving the environment but also enhancing overall social well-being."
