BioD technology-based biodiesel exports to EU from UAE

In the UAE, after commissioning the 100 metric ton per day capacity refinery in Jebel-Ali Free Zone early this year, the deliveries of sustainable, waste-to-energy-based biodiesel made in the UAE have started to flow to Europe, where EU mandates require traffic diesel fuel to have a minimum bio component blended onto it.

Serving customers in EU is the first stage in BioD Technology’s strategy for regular business. Future plans, with enhanced capacity, will include local, UAE/MENA-based customers, such as long-term contracts with the Maritime industry, where carbon reductions require ship owners to add biodiesel components into their high-sulfur content bunkering fuels.
