Dubai: The DP World and Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar), a leader in clean energy globally, have partnered to investigate and deploy renewable energy systems throughout DP World’s global port operations in the Middle East and Africa.
The purpose of the agreement is to make it easier for DP World’s worldwide supply chain to widely implement battery energy storage systems (BESS) and renewable energy. With an initial focus on Saudi Arabia, Senegal, and Egypt, DP World and Masdar will collaborate over the course of the three-year agreement to identify the best locations for the possible deployment of solar and energy storage systems.
The collaboration aims to expedite the integration of renewable energy systems into DP World’s supply chain by exchanging insights regarding the legal environment and other obstacles, particularly in developing nations.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, DP World Chairman and CEO, said that, “Our partnership with Masdar represents a significant step forward in our commitment to sustainable operations at our ports and terminals. By exploring renewable energy solutions, we aim to reduce our carbon footprint and drive positive change in the supply chain industry.”
Masdar is the UAE’s clean energy champion and one of the world’s fastest growing renewable energy companies, advancing the development and deployment of renewable energy and green hydrogen technologies to address global sustainability challenges.
As a leading end-to-end supply chain solutions provider, DP World will continue to work alongside the COP28 Presidency to advocate for more urgent climate action. This includes leveraging DP World’s scale and influence across the 75 countries it operates in worldwide to bring together the broader industry to develop impactful long-term solutions that support the global climate agenda.
DP World work with key stakeholders, from logistics companies, NGOs, governments and cargo owners, to showcase new technologies and solutions, and exchange ideas to mitigate and build resilience against climate change, driving the energy transition and promoting environmental stewardship while ensuring continued trade flow worldwide.
