ENOC to open Middle East’s first “green” service station

In an effort to boost energy conservation and underscore its commitment to the local community, Emirates National Oil Co. (ENOC) will open the Middle East’s first eco-friendly service station next year. The new service station will incorporate advanced technology to contain petrol fumes released at the pump, and a variety of other state-of-the-art systems, including solar-powered lighting, a waterless car-washing system, new waste segregation systems, and design upgrades to reduce noise pollution. ENOC’s green service station will open in the first half of 2010 at Emirates Hills in Dubai. (December 13, 2009)
