Construction has started on an integrated seawater, energy and agriculture facility at Masdar City, Abu Dhabi.
The aviation sector currently accounts for approximately 2% of total atmospheric carbon emissions. Providing a renewable and low-carbon alternative to traditional aviation fuel through the production of sustainable and scalable biomass can help the UAE reduce its contribution to global climate change and help shrink its ecological footprint.
The Masdar Institute is a non-profit consortium supported by founding members Etihad Airways, Boeing, and Honeywell UOP, as well as more recent members Takreer, Safran and General Electric.
