Water footprint reduction by 20 per cent will save Dh25 billion annually by 2030 as per Minister of Environment and Water. Natural gas consumption reduction by 15 per cent, which is equivalent to 42 mega tonnes of oil, will save at least Dh40 billion annually by 2021, Engineer Aisha Al Abdouli, Director of Green Development Department at the ministry, said. By 2030, this saving will increase to Dh376 billion as the reduction of natural gas will rise to 235 million mega tonnes.
