In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), dnata, a global air and travel services provider, said its brands dnata Logistics, Arabian Adventures, Alpha Flight Services and City Sightseeing have switched their vehicles to run on a biofuel blend.
The company said that this strategic move saves 80 tons of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions per year, equivalent to over 320,000 kilometers driven by an average petrol-powered car.
dnata’s latest initiative is part of its efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and waste to landfill by 20% by 2024. In June 2022, dnata announced that it would invest $100 million in green operations in two years.
“We constantly explore and implement emission reduction methods across our fleet and infrastructure to reduce our carbon footprint. The introduction of biofuel to a diverse range of our UAE businesses is an important step in our ongoing journey. It offers a simple and effective method of cutting emissions throughout the fuel lifecycle, without requiring any changes to equipment,” said Steve Allen, CEO of dnata Group.
