This was attained by trading carbon credits (CDMs) approved by DEWA's tasks based upon the Kyoto Procedure of the UNFCCC. The event's carbon exhausts were neutralised with carbon balances accepted for the cooling of air ducts for gas wind turbines of the Jebel Ali L-Station. HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and Chief Executive Officer of DEWA, received the certificate from the UNCCC. Waleed Salman, Executive Vice President of Method and Business Development at DEWA was present at the occasion, along with a group from DEWA's Sustainability and Climate Change Department.

The WETEX 2016 carbon offsetting initiative has been accomplished based upon the United Nations/ The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Adjustment (IPCC) carbon emissions computation. DEWA has actually recently gotten the Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) certificate for the cooling of duct for gas turbines at the Jebel Ali L-Station. The project attained amazing results and exceeded the first targets by minimizing 55,373 tonnes of co2 and 39,824 tonnes in equivalent greenhouse gases throughout 2013 and 2014.
