In addition to acquiring resources in the power, gas, oil, petrochemical, and related industries, the company develops brown and greenfield project opportunities.

The purchase of the 1.77 million shares of Tabreed by BTU Group was largely related to the company’s prime industry. District cooling has some severe advantages over traditional air conditioning, which make it substantially more efficient in areas with high urban development. The company’s 22 plants located throughout the UEA super cool water, then pump it through a series of insulated tubes to the buildings of their clients. At the buildings, air is forced past the chilled water tubes, producing air conditioning. The process is less expensive, and saves on space and pollution. This puts Tabreed in a prime position to take over the area air conditioning market.
