Following a recent agreement, Ethara has extended its collaboration with Aggreko, which has been supporting operations at Yas Marina Circuit to monitor and minimise carbon emissions across the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix as well as day-to-day circuit operations at the circuit since 2009.
The announcement aligns with Ethara’s increasing focus on sustainability across the events and venues including Yas Marina Circuit where a comprehensive strategy is in place to help achieve carbon net-zero by 2040, in full alignment with ongoing FIA sustainability efforts.
Both organizations will work closely together on a range of new green initiatives as well as build on the success of the previous results that have seen significant amounts of emissions reduced year-on-year.
The 2023 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix generated 40 per cent fewer emissions than the 2022 edition, with a range of projects covering biofuels and AC system upgrades leading to a reduction in the use of refrigerants.
Balanced energy mix
Ethara have also installed LED lighting around the circuit and a new solar car park project as the organization looks to invest in advanced technology to become more energy efficient and build a more balanced energy mix.
“We welcome Aggreko Middle East as Ethara’s Official Sustainability Partner. The partnership will play a key role in supporting our ongoing efforts in reducing our carbon footprint while delivering major events such as the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix,” commented Danny Klima, Venue Portfolio Director, Ethara.
“To be announced as the Official Sustainability Partner of Ethara represents another milestone moment for Aggreko and we are thrilled to be extending our relationship with Ethara,” remarked Katia Martin, ESG Lead, Aggreko Middle East.
