State-owned petroleum distributor Emarat signed an agreement with Aquacool, a subsidiary of Emirates District Cooling, to supply liquefied petroleum gas.
The agreement signed with Emicool’s billing and metering company will see Emarat supply LPG to the firm’s entire residential, commercial and industrial portfolio.
Customers based in Dubai will be served by an integrated and automated online portal.
The company said that the customers can also use contactless payments for delivery of their gas cylinders for health and safety reasons.
“We foresee great opportunities to re-invent the service standards and quality assurances in the local LPG market by linking our operations, deliveries, sales and customer care efforts while utilising the best means of technology, artificial intelligence and automation,” said Khalifa Al Shamsi, director general of Emarat.
"We are aware that there is intense competition out there, but our strengths and in-house capabilities equip us to face all kinds of market challenges,” he added.
In July, the UAE government appointed energy minister Suhail Al Mazrouei as chairman of Emarat. The energy ministry was also merged with the infrastructure portfolio during a broader government reshuffle.
Emarat, which was formed in 1999, has a 50 per cent market share of Dubai's LPG distribution market, according to its website.

Sheikh Zayed's poem
When it is unveiled at Abu Dhabi Art, the Standing Tall exhibition will appear as an interplay of poetry and art. The 100 scarves are 100 fragments surrounding five, figurative, female sculptures, and both sculptures and scarves are hand-embroidered by a group of refugee women artisans, who used the Palestinian cross-stitch embroidery art of tatreez. Fragments of Sheikh Zayed’s poem Your Love is Ruling My Heart, written in Arabic as a love poem to his nation, are embroidered onto both the sculptures and the scarves. Here is the English translation.
Your love is ruling over my heart
Your love is ruling over my heart, even a mountain can’t bear all of it
Woe for my heart of such a love, if it befell it and made it its home
You came on me like a gleaming sun, you are the cure for my soul of its sickness
Be lenient on me, oh tender one, and have mercy on who because of you is in ruins
You are like the Ajeed Al-reem [leader of the gazelle herd] for my country, the source of all of its knowledge
You waddle even when you stand still, with feet white like the blooming of the dates of the palm
Oh, who wishes to deprive me of sleep, the night has ended and I still have not seen you
You are the cure for my sickness and my support, you dried my throat up let me go and damp it
Help me, oh children of mine, for in his love my life will pass me by.
