Ras Al Khaimah International Airport has announced a significant expansion milestone, becoming the first airport in the Middle East and Asia to adopt DYNAES’s thermodynamic energy efficiency technology. This move aligns with the Emirate’s broader sustainability goals and supports its rapid tourism and economic growth.

As part of its terminal building upgrade, the airport will integrate DYNAES’s patented system, developed in partnership with institutions such as Mines Paris PSL, TÜV, and CNRS.

The system optimizes refrigerant-lubricant mixtures to enhance energy efficiency in cooling systems without increasing power consumption. This innovation, highlighted at COP28, aims to address one of the largest energy drains in airport operations: air conditioning.

“RAK Airport joined the Municipality’s Retrofit Energy Program in 2023 and now demonstrates how even older infrastructure can support a greener future,” said Sheikh Salem bin Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairman of the RAK Department of Civil Aviation.

The project, supported by engineering consultants ARTELIA Airport and STG Contracting, was approved by the Civil Aviation Authorities as part of a broader commitment to sustainable infrastructure.

DYNAES’s system promises significant energy savings, enhanced reliability, and a tangible reduction in CO₂ emissions—potentially cutting up to 7% of global emissions if widely adopted.

The rollout is backed by Airchal and Takyeef Factory, with manufacturing support from facilities in France and Abu Dhabi, paving the way for broader adoption across the region.
