Qatar Cool supports 'Plant Million Trees' initiative

Doha: Qatar Cool held a ceremony to mark its support to the Ministry of Municipality and Environment's (MME) initiative ‘Plant a Million Trees’ by planting 300 trees in one of its district cooling plants in the West Bay area. 

The Ministry launched the initiative in 2019 in line with Qatar’s international pledge and support of the Paris Agreement on reducing carbon emissions.  The initiative aims to boost biodiversity, make use of treated water for irrigation, improve air quality, increase the green area, and reduce gas emissions.

Chief Operations and Services, Nahar Al Mutawah commented on the occasion: “District Cooling advances environmental sustainability by being more energy efficient, reducing CO2 emissions and utilising treated wastewater in its operations.  With Qatar Cool’s environmental savings over the past 11 years, it was natural to support the Ministry in their initiative.
