Dubai, UAE : On �����������'s global Climate Day 2025, a day dedicated to promoting environmental awareness and sustainability among colleagues worldwide, ����������� Middle East took an extra step by organizing an educational visit to Lootah Biofuels, providing an in-depth exploration of renewable fuels in the region.

During the visit, participants were given historical insights and a comprehensive tour of Lootah Biofuels' main production facility in Dubai, where they learned the production process of biodiesel, specifically Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (FAME) technology. This technology is known for its efficiency in converting waste cooking oil into high-quality biodiesel, significantly reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The trip also included interactive sessions with experts from Lootah Biofuels, who shared their knowledge on the importance of sustainable practices and the future of renewable fuels in the region.

“Participating in ����������� Middle East’s global Climate Day 2025 was a proud moment for us,” said Yousif Bin Saeed Lootah, Founder and CEO of Lootah Biofuels. “It reflects our shared commitment to advancing sustainability across the region’s transport sector and accelerating the shift toward renewable energy.”

Yousif Bin Saeed Lootah emphasized that the event highlighted the importance of collaboration between renewable fuel providers and commercial vehicle manufacturers like �����������. “This visit reinforces the growing potential for partnership in support of clean energy adoption,” he said. “It also aligns directly with the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 strategic initiative, inspired by the vision and leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates. Under his guidance, the UAE is firmly committed to reducing carbon emissions and leading global efforts toward a sustainable and climate-resilient future.”

"Our visit to Lootah Biofuels reinforced our commitment to sustainability and provided valuable knowledge and inspiration in the region," said Juan Carlos Ocampo, Managing Director of ����������� Middle East. He emphasized the need for a holistic approach to achieve a sustainable transport system that focuses on three pillars such as fuel efficiency, renewable fuels & electrification, and smart & safe transport solutions. "By integrating these elements according to each market’s preparedness, we can significantly reduce our environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable future for the transportation industry," he added.

The UAE has been actively promoting the use of renewable fuels as part of its broader strategy to achieve sustainability goals and reduce the country's carbon footprint. By 2026, UAE pledged new regulations to mandate the availability of B5 biodiesel at gas stations across the UAE. This regulation aims to increase the use of renewable fuels and support the transition to a more sustainable transport system.

The collaboration reflects a broader commitment to sustainability in the GCC and supports the UAE’s leadership role in clean energy and carbon neutrality. Lootah Biofuels continues to play a pioneering role in the production of alternative fuels, supporting national and regional goals for a greener economy.

����������� is leading the way with the most extensive range of trucks ready for renewable fuels. All ����������� Euro 5 and 6 engines can run on Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO), and nearly all vehicles can operate on biodiesel-FAME. �����������'s commitment to sustainability is further demonstrated by their new 13-litre gas engine and the introduction of the ����������� Super powertrain, which offers unprecedented fuel savings and is equipped for renewable fuels.
