Our goal is to support the sustainability road map and achieve the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050 to provide 100% of the emirate’s energy production capacity from clean sources by 2050. We attach great importance to adopting best practices and advanced technologies that increase the efficiency of resource use and support Dubai’s sustainable development in line with the UAE’s national initiatives and federal strategies.”
HE Ahmed Buti Al Muhairbi added: “The council has approved two important regulatory frameworks for trading petroleum products in Dubai: the Safety Policy in Petroleum Products Trade Policy, which aims to ensure the highest standards of health, safety and environmental protection, and the Regulatory Framework for Petroleum Products Trade, which provides comprehensive governance mechanisms to enhance transparency, efficiency and compliance in the sector.”
The DSCE continues its efforts toward achieving long-term sustainability goals set out by local strategies such as providing all energy production capacity from clean sources by mid-century.
