Both the companies are working in a partnership to achieve objectives in reducing NoX emission and increasing operational productivity at EGA’s power plants in Al Taweelah and Jebel Ali.

According to Kalban, “This MoU is an important step in meeting EGA’s ambitious goal under the Government Accelerators programme. With the advanced digital solutions that GE Power will introduce in our plants, we can contribute to improved air quality and help achieve a 100 per cent completion rate for the National Agenda goals.”

EGA’s objective is to minimize NOx discharge by 10% by the end of February. NOx is also released by cars and adds to bad air quality. This initiative can boost air quality by eliminating 280,000 vehicles and their discharge from the UAE’s roads.

EGA’s power plant discharge NOx which generate electricity for use in aluminium smelting, an energy intensive industry.

GE’s next goal is to implement new liquid fuel changeover regime at both the plants to reduce fuel change over frequency while improvising fuel saving solutions.
