This event is an opportunity to review Dubai’s experience in district cooling, and to learn about various international experiences in using clean energy, and the best solutions in conservation of energy,” said Bin Shafar.
During his visit, Bin Shafar will hold meetings with directors of various organisations in this field. He will review Dubai’s pioneering experience in district cooling systems, highlight successful and best practices that can be applied in cities globally, and shed light on effective policies and applications for attracting investment, and developing and operating district energy projects.
