Dubai’s Al Ghurair Testing Coal Plant to End Need for Fuel Oil - Bloomberg:

"Al Ghurair Resources LLC, the agricultural commodities trading arm of one of the United Arab Emirates’ richest families, is testing coal technology at its oilseeds-crushing plant in Dubai with the goal of reducing its energy usage and curbing carbon emissions.
The 60 million-dirham ($16 million) coal-based cogeneration plant at Dubai’s main port in Jebel Ali will end the need for 50 metric tons of fuel oil used daily now, Djamal Djouhri, chief executive officer of Al Ghurair Resources, said at a press briefing on Wednesday.
“If we can be friendly to the environment, we should,” Djouhri said."
