Expanding the use of district cooling is one of the most effective weapons to combat climate change, said Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower), on the occasion of the 26th UN Climate Change Conference of the Parties (COP26) which is being held in Glasgow, with the participation of 200 countries, including the United Arab Emirates. Empower’s statement came in support of UAE’s announcement to invest more than 600 billion dirhams ($163 billion) in clean and renewable energy over the next several years to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Ahmad Bin Shafar, CEO of Empower, said that the company, as a key partner of the UNEP and a strong advocate of the implementation of environmentally-friendly district cooling systems world-wide, is moving forward in providing all forms of support to the various initiatives of United Nations aimed at transforming the cooling sector into energy efficient solutions. “Dubai, as a leading city in the district cooling industry, spares no effort in sharing its long experience in the environmentally-friendly district cooling systems with any country around the world. And we at Empower are keen to expand the use of sustainable solutions that contribute to reducing carbon emissions through the use of advanced and high-quality technologies in district cooling.”
