MoEI, MoIAT Drive Push to Boost Industrial Energy Efficiency at Make it in the Emirates
The UAE has reinforced its commitment to sustainable industrial growth with a high-level roundtable on industrial energy efficiency, hosted by the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI) and the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT) during the 'Make it in the Emirates' forum. Bringing together federal and local officials, private sector leaders, and technology experts, the roundtable focused on practical strategies to enhance energy efficiency across the UAE's industrial sector—a sector that accounts for nearly 60% of national energy consumption. Eng. Sharif Al Olama, Undersecretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs at MoEI, stressed the urgent need for energy-efficient solutions, noting that the industrial sector plays a pivotal role in both economic growth and emissions reduction. 'Improving industrial energy efficiency enhances competitiveness, resilience, and cost savings while supporting our decarbonisation goals,' he said. Key initiatives discussed included the Federal Energy Management Regulation for Industrial Facilities and the Industry Registry Platform—tools designed to increase transparency and accountability in energy use. MoIAT Assistant Undersecretary Osama Amir Fadhel highlighted efforts to drive sustainable transformation through the Industrial Decarbonisation Roadmap and the Industrial Sustainability Alliance. These initiatives aim to integrate green technologies, attract investments, and boost self-sufficiency in local manufacturing. Fadhel also noted cross-ministry collaboration on the Energy Demand Side Management project and the Green ICV Initiative, which links sustainability practices to national value-added goals. The roundtable underscored the UAE's strategic vision to position its industrial sector at the forefront of the net-zero transition, without compromising productivity or economic competitiveness.
