EWEC's Mirfa 2 project awarded to ENGIE and TAQA, providing sustainable water solution for 210,000 households in Abu Dhabi

 EWEC'

Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) is setting an impressive example for sustainable infrastructure with its Mirfa 2 Reverse Osmosis (M2 RO) Independent Water Project. In collaboration with TAQA and ENGIE, the project will desalinate seawater using low-carbon intensive RO technology to produce up to 120 million imperial gallons per day of potable water, reducing carbon emissions by over 85 percent compared to traditional thermal desalination plants. 

EWEC's investment in RO projects will help the UAE meet its water security and carbon reduction goals, and their strategic initiative of decoupling water desalination operations from power generation is a key part of this. With over 90 percent of their water production expected to come from RO by 2030, EWEC is reinforcing its position as a leader in advancing sustainable, secure water and power supply in Abu Dhabi and across the UAE.

TAQA and ENGIE's involvement in the project reinforces their commitment to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles, with a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and expanding the use of highly efficient reverse osmosis technology. The M2 RO project is a critical part of national decarbonization efforts and long-term water security for the UAE, and its successful implementation will set an important precedent for sustainable infrastructure projects globally.

India,China hanging by the cliff, Can they afford a trade war?

India and China are barely holding on their own but what will happen if these countries go on a trade war? Indian has already banned 51 of chinese applications. The picture of a full blown trade war does not look nice. The deadly broder battle between both the countries last month has left the countries sour and has led to taking some drastic measures from both the ends. While India took an aggressive stance against China, the most populous country seems to be in no mood for retaliation. Chinese officials last week said that they were "strongly concerned" about the app ban, for example, but they did not threaten any kind of retaliation. And on Friday, a spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stressed that the two countries should work together, adding that barriers to cooperation "will harm India's interests." But given the interests of both the countries in line, India has more to lose. China has been a critical tarde partner for India and as of last
