Net Zero Technology Centre expands into UAE with Euro Mechanical Partnership

The Net Zero Technology Centre (NZTC) has strengthened its international presence by establishing a permanent foothold in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), signing an exclusive partnership agreement with Emirati-owned Euro Mechanical.

The collaboration will leverage the combined expertise of NZTC and Euro Mechanical to support asset operators and owners in their journey towards decarbonisation and the adoption of innovative energy solutions. The partnership is expected to contribute significantly to sustainability efforts of the UAE.

The announcement follows a period of considerable growth for NZTC in the UAE and is the first step in establishing a local presence. Over the past two years, the organisation has delivered services including Technology Due Diligence, Open Innovation Competitions, and Horizon Scanning. NZTC has been instrumental in helping clients identify promising technologies and make informed investment decisions, unlocking significant potential for emissions reduction. These services will continue to form part of NZTC's core offering in the UAE, helping businesses and industries in region meet their net-zero goals.

Myrtle Dawes, CEO, Net Zero Technology Centre, said: “NZTC is at the forefront of technology development and deployment having screened thousands of technologies and supported hundreds of field trials. This puts us in a unique position to provide technology focused insight and foresight to clients in the UAE who are trying to navigate the complexities of decarbonisation.

“Recognising the need for sustainable growth, the UAE has embarked on an ambitious journey towards decarbonisation. To achieve this goal, cost-effective, emerging and ready-to-deploy solutions such as alternative fuels, electrification, waste heat recovery, energy storage systems, carbon capture, storage and utilisation, and hydrogen must be adopted and scaled. Euro Mechanical is the obvious partner of choice for NZTC due to their significant reputation and footprint in the UAE, with a strong commitment to innovation and sustainable energy solutions across a range of industries.”

Jon Rawding, CEO, Euro Mechanical, said: “In recognition of NZTC's outstanding track record, Euro Mechanical are delighted to form the partnership agreement and support the delivery of NZTC’s value-added services to the UAE. We extend our gratitude to Scottish Development International for facilitating the introduction between NZTC and Euro Mechanical.

“Euro Mechanical has reliably provided key technologies and project delivery services to the energy industry since 1976, and now through establishing our dedicated Sustainable Energy Solutions business unit, Euro Mechanical is ideally placed to support the journey towards net zero in the UAE and beyond.”
