EDF Group International Regional Headquarter (EDF RHQ) and Saudi Arabia-based droppRWA Limited have signed an MOU to explore the implementation of blockchain tokenization solutions in the energy sector in Saudi Arabia and the development of tokenized carbon credits.
EDF Group is a global leader in low-carbon energy, with a carbon production of 520 TWh, a diverse generation mix based mainly on nuclear energy and renewable energy (including hydropower). It also invests in new technologies to support the energy transition.
Saudi assets are moving to the chain via the tokenization route
According to the press release, the MOU will create a framework to explore decentralized blockchain technologies within the Saudi energy landscape. It focuses on the adoption of blockchain-based protocols to streamline transactions between companies, the tokenization of real energy assets to improve project liquidity, and the development of innovative frameworks for the carbon credit industry.
By bringing energy assets into the chain, ranging from renewable energy plants to thermal assets, the partnership aims to modernize financing structures and promote transparency throughout the asset lifecycle.
droppRWA’s role in the scheme, according to the documentation, will be to use its Sovereign RWA infrastructure to set a new standard for how large-scale energy projects are managed and financed in the region, for a sustainable and efficient economic environment.
Omar Aldaweesh, CEO of EDF RHQ, noted that exploring the potential of asset tokenization and the next generation of financial technology allows them to look beyond traditional frameworks. He claims: “This collaboration with droppRWA will provide valuable insights into how these technologies can drive value for our projects and contribute to a more robust carbon credit market.”
Faisal Al Monai, Chairman of droppRWA, added: “By applying our world-class tokenization infrastructure to key projects in the Kingdom, we are building the future of the primary capital market. This MoU represents an important step towards making energy assets more accessible, liquid and efficient through the power of blockchain.”

In November 2025, Saudi Arabia, Adeer Real Estate and blockchain tokenization service provider droppRWA also signed an MOU for a strategic partnership aimed at introducing blockchain solutions for digital ownership into Adeer’s real estate portfolio in the Kingdom, by introducing tokenized projects into Adeer’s development pipeline.
It included residential communities, commercial assets and new financing structures. droppRWA noted that they have completed Saudi Arabia’s first end-to-end tokenized real estate transaction in collaboration with the Kingdom’s regulatory authorities, establishing the infrastructure for compliant blockchain-based property transfers.
droppRWA also partnered with Saudi Arabia’s real estate developer RAFAL Real Estate Co, to conduct a Saudi Arabian pilot that would tokenize real estate transactions.
