Dubai Airport plans to implement an ambitious project - to install a system of 62,000 solar panels on the roof of the terminal, which will make it the largest roof with solar power plants in the world. This initiative will not only promote the energy independence of the airport, but also significantly reduce CO2 emissions, which are about 23,000 tons per year.
Dubai Airports has announced partnership with Etihad Clean Energy Development Company, a Dewa subsidiary, to start the world's largest solar panel on the roof of the airport. About it writes Interesting Engineering.
A major pure energy initiative, which must be fully commissioned by 2026, will include the installation of 62 904 solar panels at Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central (DWC) airports. This step -by -step project of 39 MWh will produce 60 346 MWh annually.
According to Paul Griffiths, Dubai Airports CEO, airports are large energy consumers. Griffiths explained that the introduction of stability as the basis of everything we do. Every kilowatt that we generate from renewable sources brings us closer to the reduction of our carbon trail and ensuring the prospect of our activity. It is about setting a standard and laying the path to what a truly sustainable airport can achieve.
Dr. Valid Al-Naimi, CEO of Etihad Esco, noted that the ancient partnership with Dubai Airports is crucial for accelerating the agenda of Dubai's sustainable development. Founded in 2013, ETIHAD ESCO is Dewa, aimed at making the built -up environment of Dubai with a leading example of energy efficiency in the region.
By expanding the area of impact of solar energy and implementing such transformative initiatives as Shams Dubai, they reduce demand for energy and promote decision -making in the field of constant energy throughout the emirate.
In addition, the initiative is also based on the successful installation of solar panels in Terminal 2 and the DXB Dire Hall, where solar energy helps to reduce energy consumption and emissions.
