Tadweer Group and EMSTEEL Group have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in order to explore the use of alternative fuels and raw materials in creating green building materials.
The agreement focuses on harnessing Tadweer Group’s production of Refuse Derived Fuels (RDF) and Construction and Demolition Waste (CDW) in EMSTEEL Group’s plants, including their Al Ain Cement Plant and Emirates Block Factory.
According to the statement, the partnership aims to promote sustainable building practices by reducing waste sent to landfills, lowering CO2 emissions, and advancing the manufacture of green building materials. The MoU also includes feasibility studies and further opportunities for knowledge exchange.
Ali Al Dhaheri, Managing Director and CEO of Tadweer Group, commented that, “By working with forward-thinking organizations, we are implementing sustainable practices that are reshaping the construction and manufacturing landscape in the UAE. These efforts bring us closer to achieving our goal of diverting 80 percent of Abu Dhabi’s waste from landfills, setting a new benchmark for environmental stewardship.”
Saeed Ghumran Al Remeithi, Group CEO of EMSTEEL Group, said that, “This partnership allows us to reaffirm our leadership in reshaping the core of construction and manufacturing with sustainable principles, contributing not only to the UAE Net Zero 2050 Strategy but to decarbonizing the industrial sector at scale.”
Last month, Tadweer Group signed a Joint Development Agreement with the Government of Uzbekistan to establish an innovative waste-to-energy plant in Uzbekistan’s Navoi and Bukhara regions. The agreement represents a strategic collaboration between Tadweer Group, the Ministry of Ecology Environmental Protection and Climate Change (MEEPCC), and the Ministry of Investment, Industry and Trade (MIIT) of Uzbekistan.
