Masdar City will be the world’s first zero-carbon,
zero-waste, car-free city, aiming to exceed the 10
sustainability principles of “One Planet Living” -
a global initiative launched by WWF
and environmental consultancy BioRegional.
Photovoltaic panels will generate Masdar City’s
electricity, while cooling will be provided via
concentrated solar power.
Water will be provided through a solar-powered
desalination plant.
The companies are set to establish projects in clean energy and water as well as oil and gas.
Longer term, Mubadala aims to be one of GE's major shareholders.
Among the projects the two firms are set to work on is a clean energy technology centre in a new city, Masdar City, that intends to be carbon neutral.
