With a planned population of 50,000 residents, Masdar City in Abu Dhabi will be the world’s first carbon-neutral, zero-waste city completely powered by renewable energy. This includes a new smart appliance pilot program that will measure and transmit real time power consumption.

In a joint Masdar-GE agreement, the two companies outlined plans to house a new Ecomagination Centre, focused on sustainable business solutions and to form a broader R&D relationship that will support the development and deployment of new and innovative technologies.
