Dubai - Mubasher: Bee'ah, the Middle East’s leading integrated environmental, recycling, and waste management company, has partnered with National Central Cooling Company (Tabreed), the UAE’s leading international district cooling developer, to consider the establishment of district cooling projects in Sharjah.

Under the agreement, the two companies will explore potential district cooling projects in the emirate to benefit from this method which is more sustainable and cost-efficient than traditional space cooling methods that represent up to 70% of electricity consumption in the UAE.

The agreement was signed by the group CEO of Bee'ah, Khaled Al Huraimel, and the CEO of Tabreed, Bader Saeed Al Lamki, according to a press release on Tuesday.

Al Huraimel commented: "The UAE faces extreme weather conditions, especially during summer, but through new district cooling projects, we hope to tackle this issue through more energy-efficient measures.”

At the same time, Al Lamki said: "Our strong core business, innovative technology, experienced team and structuring capabilities have made Tabreed the partner of choice, and we look forward to contributing to the continued growth and long-term sustainability of the Emirate.”
