Under the agreement, BiOD Technology will collect used cooking oils (UCO) and fats, oils, and grease (FOG) from across Dubai and process them into B100 biodiesel, a clean, renewable fuel.
The initiative is designed to reduce environmental pollution, protect sewage infrastructure, and lower the costs of wastewater treatment.
'This partnership represents a significant step in our mission to advance Dubai's environmental agenda through innovative and sustainable waste-to-energy solutions,' said Adel Al Marzooqi, CEO of the Waste and Sewerage Agency at Dubai Municipality. 'By turning waste into a valuable energy resource, we contribute effectively to Dubai's Vision 2030 for environmental sustainability.'
BiOD-Dubai Municipality collab supports Dubai's circular economy
BiOD chairman Ahmed bin Fahad Al Muhairi said the collaboration reinforces a shared commitment to practical, scalable solutions that support Dubai's circular economy. 'We strive to build a service ecosystem dedicated to making a positive global impact,' he said.
CEO Shiva Vig added that BiOD is leveraging advanced technology to transform food-based waste into high-quality biodiesel, and that the partnership will serve as a foundation for broader recycling and sustainable waste management initiatives.
The agreement aligns with Dubai's long-term environmental strategies and supports local green economy growth, further strengthening the emirate's transition to cleaner energy sources.
