On this topic, Emirates Industrial Cities' General Manager, Mohammed Al Hazaa', said:
"Sustainability is one of the company's top priorities, and from the very early plans, we sought to design the project according to the latest and most compatible findings in terms of protecting the environment, in line with the nature of our country. We continually stay up-to-date with the latest in sustainability."


Al Hazaa' went on to say: "As for Emirates Industrial City, the project was provided with natural gas as it is not only a clean source of energy, but it is also environmentally friendly. In addition, the usage of gas reduces the need for diesel. We have maintained all the measurements that serve the environment, such as distributing project areas in an evenly manner, in which roads fit with the total project area, and treating and preparing soil to be ready for construction work, without damaging the environment. Investors were told to maintain these points during the development process."

Several energy companies, experts and observers are reporting an increased interest in the usage of natural liquid gas as a clean source of energy in the next ten years, mainly due to the rise of global consumption and the elevated demand for gas.

This has lead to gas being placed second on the global consumption table, among the most important natural sources over the next decade. As a result, several industries have adjusted its production methods to comply with the requirements and demands of natural gas on the one hand, and to abide by sustainability and thermal emission standards, on the other.

Global statistics show that reducing 4 million tons of hazardous material costs $1.1bn, while removing the same material costs USD 3.6 billion, proving that costs increase with cleansing. Average costs per ton can be estimated, according to the type and depth of the cleaning process, at $270, $360 or $720.

Many economical and energy-related initiatives are calling for countries to join treaties, such as the Kyoto treaty on climate change, which seeks to reduce pollution between 2008 and 2012 with a percentage of 5.2%, as opposed to the percentage recorded in 1990.
