overlooks the strategic direction, expansion and daily
operations of Lootah Biofuels in the UAE and

5% of transportation fuel to Biofuels by the year 2020.
MISSION
Our mission is to deliver economic, operational, and environmental benefits for
long-term customer satisfaction and sustainable growth.
We aim to research, develop and produce sustainable biofuels – clean, reliable
alternatives to fossil fuels for transport that deliver real
reductions in greenhouse gas emissions and help
to improve security of energy supply.
In the UAE, transport sector
consumption contributes to around
90% of the total diesel demand in
the country. The demand in the
sector is expected to rise due
to the proliferation in cargo
trade, remarkable rise in the
tourism industry the
phenomenon upshot of
logistic hub for Middle East
and Africa. Thus, the Lootah
BioFuels objective is to meet
the UAE’s demand of cost
effective and sustainable fuel.

INITIATIVES
RTA Bio Powered Green Bus
Supported by the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP), the Green Bus
project is a collaborative effort between the RTA and SS Lootah Biofuels, one
of the fiercest proponents of bio-fuels in the UAE. The initiative, the first of
its kind in the region falls under a wider picture the UAE Vision 2021 of
Green Economy for Sustainable Development. Expanding the green
profile of Dubai’s public transport, RTA has launched the first green bus in
2012 as a pilot project and after a successful trial has now expanded the
fleet.
Awarded First edition of the ‘Dubai Award for Sustainable Transport’ (DAST) for
the use of Biofuel made from used cooking oil.
Green Car Program
The solar-powered car designed by the Lootah Technical Centre in
Dubai is capable of travelling at a speed of 45km per hour. The
‘Green Car Program’ has seen a great progression since
inception, starting from conversion of part of the company
fleet to Compressed Natural Gas, followed by the use of hybrid
cars and high mileage vehicles and most recently, electric cars,
making Dubai the first city in the Gulf to license electric cars.
The SS Lootah Group has further strengthened the Program
through MoU with the RTA in 2009 to explore mobility options for
the staff members.

DUBAI’S POLICE FORCE WILL FUEL BUSES WITH ITS
OWN USED COOKING OIL USING TECHNOLOGY
DEVELOPED BY LOOTAH BIODIESEL.
To coincide with World Environment Day celebration earlier this
week, Lieutenant General Dhahi Khalfan Tamim, commander
general of Dubai Police, has revealed that the police's environ-
mentally friendly initiative will fuel its buses with biodiesel
produced from used cooking oil.
Tamim said Lootah Biofuels had been instrumental in launching
the initiative. Lootah has recently launched its own recycling
used oil scheme which has been used to fuel its fleet of
readymix cement trucks. It also teamed up with food producer
AL Islami to source the cooking oil used as a feedstock in the
fuel.
Tamim said the used cooking oil required for producing biodies-
el will be collected from within the organisations of the Dubai
Police, and the best international standards will be observed for
the recycling and the production.
Sheikh Maktoum Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum,
deputy ruler of Dubai, recognised SS Lootah's heavy vehicle
scheme at the third Dubai Award for Sustainable Transport
(DAST) in February.
