The UAE's high-ranking government officials, business leaders and academics discussed key topics related to sustainability, circular economy and renewable energy during a Ramadan Majlis.
Yousif Bin Saeed Lootah hosted the the Ramadan Majlis recently at Yousif Bin Saeed Lootah's Residence in Dubai.
The Majlis featured the participation of Engineer Saif Ghubash, Assistant Undersecretary for Petroleum, Gas, and Mineral Resources Affairs at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure; Ali Khalifa Al Shamsi, Director General of Emirates General Petroleum Corporation (Emarat); Engineer Amal Al Ali, Director of Petroleum and Gas Affairs at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure; Engineer Safa Bani Rashid, Head of Sustainability at Dubai Municipality; Engineer Saeed Amiri and Engineer Faisal Al Qahtani from Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC); and Engineer Ahmed Zangerli and Engineer Kim Benfield from RAK Gas. The discussions focused on the latest advancements and initiatives in these fields, with a strong emphasis on innovative solutions that contribute to climate neutrality and reinforce the UAE's circular economy.
A key highlight of the gathering was the Lootah Biofuels UCO collection Initiative, launched in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure. The initiative aims to collect and recycle used cooking oils (UCO), transforming them into sustainable biofuels. Discussions underscored the initiative’s importance in advancing the shift toward clean energy and mitigating the environmental impact of improperly discarded cooking oils, which can damage sewage systems and the environment.
