Queen of Green has set up the first international partnership to extract and process ‘Fair Trade Green Oil’. The community that owns the oil-rich land wanted to extract it without causing any harm to the environment.
Gill Wallace Hope has developed the ‘Extraction and Processing Policy’ in alignment with the environmental policy in the Holy Quran. 5 advisors from Mecca have provided input on environment, water, land, health, and safety.
She says “It is very important to honor the community to ensure that their environment is protected and their economic participation can be re-invested in developing their other industries to provide a balanced economy”.
Hope is applying the UAE policy on Environment, Health and Safety (Decree 42 of 2009) which is a world first on compulsory protection of the environment in any industrial process. It will be the first time that a UAE knowledge system has been transferred to another country in the region to alleviate poverty.
HH Shiekh Zayed, the founder of UAE was totally committed to a balance between Development and Nature.
The Community will receive the latest technologies from around the world to ensure that no oil is leaked into the sea, rivers, or land during the extraction process. Total Quality Management will be applied to the whole supply chain to eliminate waste and pollution at every stage. Prevention of waste and environmental damage will inspire the global industry into new best practices.
The Community will receive a percentage of every barrel that reflects their participation and value in alignment with Fair Trade policies.
Financing has been agreed with Islamic Funds and European guarentees. Drilling is expected to start in January 2012 with Fair Trade Green Oil shipped in April 2012. Pre-sales of the new product are strong as environmentalists working inside the oil and gas industry have been concerned about current industry processes for over 30 years. The environmental cost of oil spills is well known however, the daily contamination by existing processes are extremely high but warrant only a paragragh in the Annual Reports of the oil and gas industry.
With ‘Fair Trade Green Oil’ buyers can vote with their dollars for a new process that balances the needs of the environment, energy and economy.
