ZETA (Zero Emissions Traders Alliance), based in UAE, offers a meeting place and a public platform for companies and organisations with an interest in creating wholesale traded markets in climate neutral products. The vision is an emerging MENA ‘net zero emissions’ energy market including exports to neighbouring countries and globally.

ZETA proposes a suitable market framework and transaction tools, including standard contracts, with a view to facilitating climate neutrality in the MENA region and beyond. We expect the creation of markets and the use of market-based mechanisms will help achieve climate neutrality combined with energy security at least cost. ZETA assists our members in dealing with the transition from just trading fossil fuels and electrons to trading low carbon and renewable energy carriers and related certificates and guarantees of origin. ZETA aims also to help guide policymakers and influencers along a cost-efficient path towards ‘net zero’ emissions in energy value chains in the MENA region.
