Al Masaood Power Division, part of Al Masaood Group in Abu Dhabi, is showing new low-emission energy technology at the Middle East Energy 2025 event. The exhibition is taking place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from April 7 to 9.
At the event, Al Masaood is presenting battery energy storage and hydrogen-based fuel systems made by Volvo Penta. These systems are designed for industrial use. The battery subsystem offers fast charging and discharging, with batteries built for energy density and reliability in operations. The technology is scalable based on usage.
Volvo Penta’s hydrogen dual fuel engine, based on its D8 engine platform, is also being displayed. It can run on a hydrogen-diesel mix. The platform is already certified to run on hydro-treated vegetable oil (HVO). The D17 genset engine is being developed to run on renewable fuels as well.
Al Masaood Power Division manages power solutions in Abu Dhabi and has been working with Volvo Penta for energy products. At this event, both companies are showing options that reduce emissions while maintaining operational performance. The energy systems on display are intended for industrial and commercial use.
In Abu Dhabi, other less-publicized renewable energy projects have been moving forward. One example is a solar car park initiative implemented by Al Masaood Automobiles, which added rooftop solar panels at its Mussafah facility. The installed capacity is around 1.2 MW, and it powers part of the company’s operations.
Another smaller project involves a collaboration between a university research team and local utilities. A microgrid with solar panels and battery storage was set up at a school campus in Al Ain. It generates 400 kW and supports research on hybrid energy systems.
A pilot project also tested floating solar panels on a water reservoir near Sweihan, with a capacity of 300 kW. The setup is used to examine energy output efficiency and impact on water temperature.
