KUWAIT – Hajar’s project revolves around the innovative idea of converting wasted animal healthcare materials into biofuel, specifically diesel, to mitigate environmental damage while harnessing an alternative energy source. This initiative is poised to revolutionize energy production and waste management, offering a dual benefit of environmental preservation and energy sustainability.

The significance of Hajar’s project lies not only in its environmental impact but also in its alignment with Oman Vision 2040’s objectives. By tapping into alternative sources of energy and reducing reliance on fossil fuels, Hajar’s innovation embodies Oman’s commitment to sustainable development and environmental stewardship.

Describing her project as the first of its kind globally, Hajar emphasizes the importance of its eco-friendly approach. The project minimises harmful environmental effects by utilizing pathological animal waste to produce biofuel, paving the way for a greener and more sustainable future.

Furthermore, Hajar’s collaboration with Be’ah, Oman’s environmental management company, underscores the project’s practical applicability and potential for widespread implementation.
