en.Wedoany.com Reported - Globalpharma has successfully reduced its carbon footprint by 11,400 tons of CO2 by installing a 612kWp rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) system at its manufacturing facility in Dubai Investments Park (DIP).
The solar system is expected to generate 25.3 GWh of clean energy, helping to improve energy efficiency and reduce reliance on grid-supplied electricity. This project was completed by Globalpharma in collaboration with 386 Sky Solar Energy Systems, combining Globalpharma's experience in operational optimization with the latter's expertise in industrial-scale renewable energy deployment.
The solar installation was implemented under the "Shams Dubai" initiative, which allows on-site energy consumption and exports surplus electricity to the grid through a bi-directional metering system. This project marks a significant step for Globalpharma in integrating clean energy into its manufacturing operations, ultimately enhancing overall operational performance.
Dr. Basem Albarahmeh, CEO of Globalpharma, stated that this initiative builds on a broader set of measures implemented to enhance manufacturing efficiency and sustainability. He noted that solar integration is a natural extension of optimizing resource utilization, improving energy efficiency, and progressively reducing the environmental footprint of pharmaceutical production. As the company's capabilities expand, it remains focused on embedding sustainable practices into core operations to support a more resilient and future-ready manufacturing platform that adapts to evolving industry and regulatory expectations.
Ahmad Al Khayyat, Chairman of Three Eight Six, said that this collaboration is a statement of intent, and Globalpharma's choice to embed clean energy into manufacturing operations demonstrates leadership that drives the industry forward. The UAE's net-zero emissions targets will be built on such decisions.
This initiative also aligns with the UAE's clean energy transition and "Net Zero 2050" strategy, supporting the gradual decarbonization of industrial operations in the healthcare manufacturing sector.
