Maersk Inaugurates Its First Integrated Logistics Centre With Rooftop Solar In Dubai
Maersk Kanoo UAE, an integrator of container logistics, inaugurated its first Integrated Logistics Centre with rooftop solar panels in Dubai, UAE, at DP World’s leading trade and logistics hub, Jafza. The Maersk Integrated Logistics Centre was inaugurated by Richard Morgan, Regional Managing Director, Maersk West & Central Asia and Christopher Cook, Managing Director, Maersk UAE, in the presence of Maersk’s top W&D customers in the UAE. Maersk has a strong commitment to decarbonise logistics and services. The facility will get solar panels on its rooftop to cater to all the entire electricity requirements for facility operations. The 434 MWh/year clean energy production of this installation will reduce more than 1,700 tonnes of carbon emissions over 10 years; an equivalent decarbonisation feat achieved by planting over 70,000 trees seedlings over 10 years.

Bahrain International Circuit Installs Solar Panels To Reduce Emissions
Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) announced the completion of a major solar project delivering on the Kingdom of Bahrain’s 2021 commitment to make the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix green by 2022. This exciting project more than covers the energy requirements of the Formula 1 weekend, with excess to spare, reduces the venue’s carbon footprint, generates significant energy cost savings, and supports Bahrain’s commitment to sustainability and the Kingdom’s net-zero ambitions. The new onsite solar production facility will support Formula 1’s plan to have net-zero carbon emissions by 2030. Further project phases will see Bahrain International Circuit’s annual energy needs met sustainably and entirely from renewable sources.
RWE And ADNOC Signs MoU In Low Carbon And Green Hydrogen
RWE and Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) regarding collaboration in low carbon and green hydrogen. Both companies agreed to explore the potential for importing low carbon and green hydrogen as well as hydrogen derivatives, such as ammonia, from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to Germany. Furthermore, RWE and ADNOC agreed to assess the potential for the joint development of green hydrogen and hydrogen derivative production projects in relevant international markets. ADNOC is an early mover in decarbonization and the production of clean hydrogen, supporting the UAE’s ambition to supply up to 25% of imported hydrogen in key global markets.
