Mubasher: Hamad International Airport (HIA) on Monday announced that it signed, along with Qatar Airways, two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with KAHRAMAA’s National Programme for Conservation and Energy Efficiency, ‘Tarsheed’.

The two MoUs aim to achieve long-term sustainability and energy conservation in line with the Qatar National Vision 2030, HIA said in a statement.

The MoUs provide a framework for HIA and Qatar Airways to work with KAHRAMAA together on technical collaborations as well as community awareness in relation to conservation technology, energy efficiency systems, and renewable energy.

They also dictate that HIA and Qatar Airways will have staff trained by Tarsheed on best practices for conservation of electricity and water as well as energy efficiency.

Tarsheed targets bringing down per capita consumption of electricity by 25% and of water by 35% in 2022, KAHRAMAA’s president Essa bin Hilal Al Kuwari said.

“This is additional to generating more than 500MW of Solar Energy by 2020 to be contributed by a number of entities in Qatar.” Al Kuwari added.
