🌍 Day 3: Technical Visit & Workshop Series on District Cooling in the UAE 🌍 Representatives of the Regulatory and Supervisory Bureau (RSB), Dubai Electricity and Water Regulatory Body, shared the benefits of the District Cooling Regulatory Framework in Dubai, revealing impressive savings of $30 billion from district cooling projects so far. 🏭 Notably, the team discussed how regulatory support has fostered open competition among district cooling providers and billing service providers, resulting in 4 licensed DC providers and 27 billing service providers operating in Dubai. RSB also highlighted the collaborative efforts between large building developers and district cooling providers during the planning and design stages. This partnership ensures optimal design and cost-efficiency for district cooling systems, enhancing their overall performance. 💹 A significant highlight was the stability of chilled water tariffs for consumers, which have not increased in the last 11 years in Dubai. ❄ 🌟 Stay tuned to our page for more discussions on similar topics! ❄ 🌟 #DistrictCooling #Sustainability #Dubai #RSB #EnergyEfficiency #Innovation #UAE UN Environment Programme / COP28 UAE / Empower / Benjamin Hickman / Rahul Agnihotri / Thibaut Pasquet

It’s often said that success is down to who you know, not what you know. A rather cynical outlook, perhaps, but I believe that, at least when it comes to Tabreed, there’s a healthy balance between the two. Our expertise in district cooling is unrivalled but we also benefit from the people and organisations we align with, who share our values and a desire to improve business and residential communities in other countries where cooling is rapidly becoming essential for survival. Tabreed has for years been working closely with the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and the Cool Coalition so this week, when they arranged a special delegation from overseas to discover more about district cooling, naturally we got involved. Partnership, Progress and Performance are the very essence of this company and we are here for the benefit of everyone, everywhere.

🌍Day 2: Technical Visit & Workshop Series on District Cooling in the UAE🌍 Tabreed’s CEO, Khalid Abdulla Al Marzooqi, hosted Day 2 of the UN Environment Programme-led Cool Coalition Study Tour in Abu Dhabi. The international delegation visited the Department of Energy Abu Dhabi to learn about the District Cooling (DC) Regulatory Framework, including DC licensing, competitive bidding, tariff structures, standards, technologies, and CAPEX/OPEX calculations, while considering consumers interests and monitoring of key performance indicators. They also toured Tabreed's plant on Al Maryah Island, which supplies sustainable cooling to the entire district.

On Tuesday 16 July, Tabreed’s CEO, Khalid Abdulla Al Marzooqi, was proud to host a special, international delegation organised by the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) and under the framework of the Cool Coalition, as part of a three-day technical visit and workshop series on district cooling. The day started with a visit to Department of Energy Abu Dhabi, where the group learned about regulation of the district cooling sector and how it helps governments work towards achieving net-zero targets, while setting standards of service that benefit suppliers and customers alike. This was followed by presentations made by Tabreed’s Chief Operating Officer, Antonio Di Cecca, who spoke about our world-leading initiatives with geothermal energy and nanofluid technology, and Chief Development Officer, Philippe Coquelle, who explained in detail how district cooling works, the benefits it offers and the commercial structures available to developers. The group then took a guided tour of our plant on Al Maryah Island, which supplies that entire district with sustainable and essential cooling. Delegates represented Tunisia, Morocco and Pakistan, and the visit provided extensive opportunities to forge long-lasting relationships and collaborations, with Tabreed’s renowned experts sharing their unrivalled experience and expertise in this vitally important industry. #Districtcooling #Sustainability #netzero #Leadership

🌍 Day 1: District Cooling Study Tour in the UAE 🌍 Yesterday in Dubai, we kicked off the first day of the workshop series on district cooling, organized by the UN Environment Programme-led Cool Coalition. We were joined by COP28 UAE representatives, national and subnational policymakers from Tunisia, Morocco, and Pakistan, local district cooling industry players, UAE government departments, and UNEP officials. The first day was hosted by EMPOWER. The morning sessions featured insightful discussions on the numerous benefits of district cooling technologies, as well as innovative business models and financing options for District Cooling Systems. In the afternoon, we had the opportunity to take part in a practical site visit to the Empower Business Bay Plant. 💡: https://lnkd.in/gTqwwW-X Stay tuned for more exciting updates over the next days! 🤝❄ #DistrictCooling #SustainableCooling #empower Benjamin Hickman Rahul Agnihotri Thibaut Pasquet Rahma Alshamsi Kinza Mishal ramesh ramadurai Tariq Alyasi Rob Thornton Samer Khoudeir HE Ahmad Bin Shafar 👉 https://lnkd.in/gPcZvGhD

As the world's leading district cooling company, with more than 26 years of unrivaled expertise, Tabreed remains committed to addressing the challenges of rising global temperatures and the increasing demand for cooling, particularly in urban areas where cooling is no longer a luxury but an essential part of life. So we're pleased to be supporting the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) initiative on district cooling in the UAE, which is taking place 15 - 17 July. We’re proud to raise awareness of the benefits and opportunities presented by district cooling and look forward to engaging with delegates from Tunisia, Morocco and Pakistan, as well as UAE policymakers and industry leaders. Together, we can drive sustainable solutions and create a cooler future for everyone. #Districtcooling #Sustainability #Sustainablecooling #UAE #Tabreed

  🌍❄️ Vietnam approved its National Plan on Management & Elimination of ODS and Controlled GHGs! 🌍❄️ On June 11, 2024, Vietnam's Prime Minister approved the updated National Plan on Management and eliminate ODS and control GHG emissions in the cooling sector. This update aligns with the Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol and Vietnam's commitment to the #GlobalCoolingPledge at #COP28. “The plan takes comprehensive approach to tackle urban heat issues and growing cooling demand challenge in #Vietnam with prioritizing better urban planning to reduce urban heat island effect in cities, reducing cooling load in buildings through adoption of passive cooling strategies and improving energy efficiency of the cooling equipment while phasing down HFCs. The Plan is true testimony of addressing cooling challenge while maximizing social, economic and environmental benefits” 👉 Read the full Plan here: https://bit.ly/3XQ1Eca #ClimateAction #SustainableCooling #KigaliAmendment

🌟 Exciting Event: District Cooling in the UAE! 🌟 Cities are highly vulnerable to rising temperatures from climate change and face rapidly growing cooling demand. By 2100, cities across the world could warm by 4.4°C. To address these issues, local governments and industry worldwide are increasingly turning to district cooling. From July 15-17, 2024, countries will attend a three-day technical visit and workshop series on district cooling in the UAE, organized by UN Environment Programme under the framework of the Cool Coalition and with support of the Government of Italy. Highlights will include: 🔹 Technical visits to diverse district cooling sites 🔹 Workshops on policy development, technology, and financing 🔹 Networking with key stakeholders from multiple countries working on district cooling and local industry experts With a special thanks to Cool Coalition partners EMPOWER, Tabreed and International District Energy Association for supporting this event - through such efforts we can raise awareness and build capacity on the benefits, challenges, and opportunities of district cooling. ❄ It will facilitate policy exchange, long-term collaboration, and sharing of best practices from the visiting delegations from Tunisia, Morocco, and Pakistan with UAE's national and local policymakers, local district cooling industry players, and experts from UNEP Copenhagen Climate Centre. 💡 Find out more: https://lnkd.in/gPcZvGhD #DistrictCooling #ClimateAction #ActOnCooling #GlobalCoolingPledge
