Disclosure: Press release

Tabreed, a leading district cooling company, has achieved the 'Verified Carbon Standard' at one of its Abu Dhabi plants, marking a significant step in decarbonizing the cooling sector. The certification, carried out by the independent agency Verra, followed a year-long review and confirmed the plant's high energy efficiency and substantial environmental benefits. The facility, which supplies a prominent commercial and tourist development, prevents approximately 19,320 tons of carbon emissions annually by reducing electricity consumption compared to conventional cooling systems. This certification allows Tabreed to trade carbon credits in the voluntary market, a first for any district cooling company. The success of this project enables Tabreed to apply the same energy-efficient methodology to other facilities, potentially generating additional revenue through carbon credit trading. This achievement follows Tabreed’s renewable energy initiatives, including a collaboration with ADNOC to create the region’s first geothermal-powered district cooling plant.
