من الصقور إلى المصانع: القفزة التالية لدولة الإمارات

دبي, April 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) —

دبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة، 27 مارس 2025 – تقود Saker Capital Group تحولًا جريئًا في تقاطع الصناعة والطبيعة من خلال إطلاق أول مصنع أسمنت في العالم بدون انبعاثات ثاني أكسيد الكربون في الإمارات العربية المتحدة. بينما تطلق مصانع الأسمنت التقليدية ما يقرب من 8% من انبعاثات ثاني أكسيد الكربون العالمية، سيتم تصنيع أسمنت ساكر دون تعدين المعادن أو استخدام الوقود الأحفوري أو إطلاق جزيء واحد من ثاني أكسيد الكربون في الهواء.

النتيجة؟ أسمنت أقوى وأكثر متانة لا يغير فقط صناعة البناء العالمية، بل يعيد أيضًا التوازن إلى البيئة الطبيعية – بما في ذلك السماء حيث تحلق الصقور.

الإمارات لا تتكيف مع المستقبل – بل تعرفه.

مع تسارع العالم نحو صافي انبعاثات صفرية، فإن من يستثمر في ويتبنى التقنيات الثورية فقط هم من سيقودون العصر الصناعي القادم.

لماذا الإمارات؟

اخترنا دولة الإمارات العربية المتحدة لأنها ليست مجرد بوابة بين القارات، بل هي مركز عالمي للابتكار التكنولوجي. لقد أولت القيادة الإماراتية المستقبلية أولوية للتنمية المستدامة، ودعمت بنشاط مراكز البحث والابتكار في دبي وأبوظبي والشارقة.

في هذا البيئة، لا تنجو الأفكار المستقبلية فحسب – بل تنمو وتتوسع.

ما علاقة الصقور بالأسمنت؟

لطالما حكمت الصقور سماء الإمارات – كما حكمت الدولة عالم الابتكار. لكن ارتفاع مستويات ثاني أكسيد الكربون يهدد كلاهما.

تتسبب انبعاثات ثاني أكسيد الكربون في اضطراب التيارات الهوائية الحرارية التي تعتمد عليها الصقور للتحليق.

تؤدي درجات الحرارة المرتفعة الناتجة عن انبعاثات ثاني أكسيد الكربون إلى تقليل فرائس الصقور.

وتؤثر ملوثات الهواء الصناعي على أنظمة تنفس الصقور.

الآن، تخيل عالماً لا يسهم فيه الأسمنت في هذه المشكلات البيئية.

أسمنت ساكر: مستقبل البناء بدون كربون

يُنتج أسمنت ساكر من نفايات صناعية معاد تدويرها، بدون تعدين، بدون وقود، وبدون انبعاثات. الخرسانة الناتجة أقوى وأكثر مقاومة للتآكل بسبب الملح، مما يجعلها مثالية للبنية التحتية الساحلية وبيئات الرطوبة العالية.

كما تستخدم منشآت الإنتاج الطاقة المتجددة، والأتمتة الذكية، وإعادة التدوير المتقدمة.

التمويل الذكي للاستدامة

تستخدم Saker Capital Group تقنيات مالية مبتكرة:
– نماذج مالية تعتمد على البلوكتشين
– مشاريع ممولة بالتوكنات
– عقود ذكية وتحليلات مالية بالذكاء الاصطناعي

تعهد بالحفاظ على السماء

تتبرع الشركة بأول مليون دولار من الأرباح إلى مستشفى دبي للصقور، الذي تأسس برعاية سمو الشيخ حمدان بن محمد بن راشد آل مكتوم، ولي عهد دبي.

“الاستدامة لا تتعلق فقط بالصناعة – بل بحماية العالم الذي نعيش فيه.” 
– صقر بيرتشيل، العضو المنتدب لشركة Saker Capital Group

كونوا جزءًا من التاريخ. 
أضفوا قيمة إلى إرثكم.

From Falcons to Factories: The UAE’s Next Leap Forward

Key Takeaways:

  • Zero CO₂ Cement Revolution
    Saker Capital Group launches the world’s first zero CO₂ cement factory in the UAE, redefining sustainable construction. Unlike traditional methods, Saker Cement is produced without fossil fuels or strip mining, offering a carbon–neutral solution that significantly reduces global emissions.
  • UAE: A Hub for Green Innovation
    The UAE cements its position as a leader in green industrial innovation. Saker Capital Group's decision to launch its factory in the region highlights the nation’s commitment to sustainable technology, backed by AI–driven automation, renewable energy, and circular economy principles.
  • Sustainability Meets Financial Innovation
    Saker Capital Group leverages blockchain financial models and AI–powered analytics to drive investment in sustainable infrastructure. Through tokenized projects and smart contracts, the company is creating transparent, efficient, and globally accessible opportunities for eco–conscious investors.
  • A Commitment to Conservation
    Pledging $1 million in initial profits to the Dubai Falcon Hospital, Saker Capital Group supports the preservation of the UAE’s iconic Saker falcons. This initiative aligns industrial progress with wildlife conservation and underscores the company's dedication to protecting nature.

DUBAI, UAE, April 02, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Saker Capital Group is leading a bold transformation at the intersection of industry and nature with the launch of the world’s first zero CO₂ cement factory in the UAE. While traditional cement plants pump out nearly 8% of global CO₂ emissions, Saker Cement will be manufactured without strip–mined minerals, without fossil fuels, and without emitting a single molecule of CO₂ into the air.

The result? A stronger, more resilient cement that not only transforms global construction but restores balance to the natural environment—including the skies where falcons reign.
The UAE is Not Just Adapting to the Future—It is Defining It.

With the world racing toward net–zero emissions, only those who invest in and embrace revolutionary technologies will lead the next era of global industry.

  • The UAE is already a leader in financial innovation and sustainability.
  • Now, Saker Capital Group is bringing the next industrial breakthrough—a cement that replaces pollution with progress.

This isn’t just about reducing emissions. It’s about proving to the world that the UAE is the new capital of sustainable construction.

Why the UAE? A Global Hub for Innovation

Saker Capital Group chose the United Arab Emirates for a reason: it is not only a gateway between continents but a global epicenter of technological innovation. The forward–thinking leadership of the UAE has prioritized sustainable development, actively supporting world–class research and innovation hubs across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Sharjah.

From AI–driven automation to advanced materials and green energy breakthroughs, the UAE’s innovation ecosystem—anchored by institutions like DTEC, SRTIP, KUST, and AUS—provides the ideal foundation for launching the next generation of sustainable industrial technologies.

In this environment, visionary ideas don’t just survive—they scale.

What Do Falcons Have to Do with Cement?

Falcons have long ruled the UAE’s skies—just as the nation has ruled in innovation. But rising CO₂ levels threaten both. Here’s why that matters.

The majestic Saker falcon, after which Saker Capital Group is named, is an endurance hunter. Falcons soar thousands of feet above the desert, scanning vast landscapes for prey. However, increasing CO₂ emissions—and the environmental damage they cause—are making it harder for falcons to survive.

  • Rising CO₂ disrupts thermal air currents, which falcons rely on to glide with minimal effort.
  • Higher temperatures from CO₂ emissions overheat hunting grounds, leading to fewer prey animals and forcing falcons to travel longer distances.
  • Air pollution from industrial emissions weakens falcons’ respiratory systems, affecting their stamina and ability to fly long distances.

Now imagine a world where cement—the foundation of cities, highways, and infrastructure—no longer contributes to these problems.

Saker Cement: The Future of Construction Without the Carbon

Unlike traditional cement, which destroys natural landscapes and the environment through strip mining and CO₂–heavy kilns, Saker Cement is created from an unexpected source: globally abundant recycled waste materials from other industries. Through a proprietary, patents–pending process, these materials are transformed into high–performance cement—without fuel, without CO₂ emissions, and without environmental harm.

The resulting concrete is stronger than concrete made with traditional cement, and uniquely resistant to the corrosive effects of salt air and salt water—making it ideal for coastal infrastructure, desert construction, and high–humidity environments.
Saker Cement’s manufacturing model is built for impact and resilience:

  • Renewable energy–powered operations for complete energy self–sufficiency.
  • AI–driven automation to maximize efficiency and eliminate waste.
  • Advanced material recycling, transforming recovered materials into the most sustainable building material ever developed.

Innovative Financial Instruments Powering the Future of Sustainability

Just as Saker Cement represents the next evolution of sustainable construction, Saker Capital Group is utilizing cutting–edge financial instruments and next–generation investment technologies to bring this vision to life.

  • Blockchain–based financial models to enable seamless global investment.
  • Tokenized project participation, opening up opportunities for innovative funding structures.
  • Smart contracts & AI–powered financial analytics to optimize deal execution and investor transparency.

By aligning technological progress with financial modernization, Saker Capital Group is proving that sustainability is not just an environmental goal—it’s an economic strategy.

A Pledge to Protect the Skies

Saker Capital Group is pledging the first $1 million in profits from the Saker Cement project as a donation to the Dubai Falcon Hospital, one of the world’s leading centers for falcon conservation and medical care.

Founded under the patronage of Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai—an avid falconer and conservationist—the Dubai Falcon Hospital plays a crucial role in protecting and rehabilitating these iconic birds, ensuring they continue to thrive for generations to come.

“Sustainability is about more than just industry—it’s about protecting the world we live in,” states Saqr Birchil, Managing Member of Saker Capital Group. “We are honored to support the UAE’s leadership in environmental innovation and wildlife conservation, ensuring that both falcons and future generations can soar.”

Be a part of history. Add value to your legacy.
