RED SEA GLOBAL
We ’ re also farming corals and planting and restoring mangrove trees , one of nature ’ s best defenses against global warming . We use treated wastewater from our constructed wetlands sewage treatment plant – the biggest of its kind in the Middle East – to irrigate our landscape nursery , also the largest in the region .
To reduce our carbon footprint , we ’ re installing the world ’ s largest microgrid supplied exclusively by renewable energy . Our solar farms have surpassed 85 % completion , and we ’ re building the world ’ s biggest battery storage facility . Our water desalination plants and our other utilities and infrastructure , as well as our land vehicles and boats , will be powered entirely by electricity generated from renewable energy .
Q | How are you protecting the environment ? A | To expand on the above , Red Sea Global will own and operate Saudi Arabia ’ s first-ever fleet of carbon-neutral electric buses , as part of our e-mobility and zero-carbon strategy . We ’ ve also partnered with a company called ZeroAvia to develop seaplanes powered by hydrogen fuel cells . And we ’ re investing in a battery storage facility that will , at 1,200MWh , be the largest of its kind , enabling The Red Sea destination to be powered by 100 % renewable energy day and night . Both The Red Sea and Amaala are planned to run exclusively on renewables .
Other initiatives include our installation of innovative floating nurseries for corals . These offshore nurseries have achieved a 90 % success rate , and our findings may contribute to protecting coral reefs in other
