We bring geoscience, engineering and environmental insight together to develop practical responses to energy, water and resource challenges.
CRETA Group is one of six finalist teams in Al Miyah Challenge for Agriculture, launched by the Mohamed bin Zayed Water Initiative.
Our entry explores subsurface thermal exchange and controlled airflow to reduce the water demand of greenhouse cooling in arid environments, with field testing in Al Ain, UAE.
CRETA Group is a UAE-based consultancy and innovation company working at the intersection of geothermal energy, water, environmental assessment and sustainable development.
Our work starts with understanding the conditions that shape a project: the ground beneath it, the resources around it and the demands it must meet. We combine that understanding with engineering analysis, applied development and collaboration to help clients make informed decisions.
Develop technically sound, environmentally responsible solutions that respond to real operating needs. Connect science, design and economic assessment so each next step has a clear purpose and basis.
Help build resilient systems in which energy, water and infrastructure work together—supporting productive economies while reducing pressure on natural resources.
Begin with the site and the problem. Make assumptions visible, compare feasible options and define the evidence needed to support design, testing and implementation decisions.
Energy performance, water use and environmental effects are connected. Our areas of work bring these relationships into the way projects are assessed and developed.
Exploration, reservoir evaluation and plant design, alongside heating and cooling applications for buildings, agriculture and data centres. We also assess opportunities to repurpose existing oil and gas wells.
Water-treatment and reuse concepts, resource recovery and integrated approaches that consider water quality, energy demand, residuals and the practical conditions of deployment.
Baseline studies, impact assessment and management planning that connect environmental evidence, stakeholder considerations and the responsibilities of project development.
We bring technical curiosity to the problem and discipline to the next decision. The work is shaped around what a client needs to establish, design, test or improve.
Clarify the application, site characteristics, resource availability and operating constraints before selecting a technical approach.
What this means: a defined problem, a transparent baseline and a study scope that fits the project.
Examine the interactions between subsurface behaviour, equipment, energy demand, water use and environmental effects.
What this means: evaluating the whole system, including the trade-offs between its parts.
Distinguish measured data from modelling assumptions and performance targets. Identify uncertainties and the information required to reduce them.
What this means: recommendations that can be reviewed, challenged and refined.
Bring project owners, technical specialists and research partners into a defined development process with clear roles and objectives.
What this means: connecting knowledge with field conditions and the practical needs of implementation.
Co-founder & Chief Executive Officer
Dr. Alriahy brings a geoscience perspective to energy and environmental innovation. His work connects subsurface resource understanding with geothermal applications, water challenges and the development of more resilient infrastructure.
At CRETA, he leads a direction centred on applied innovation: asking how technical knowledge can translate into useful solutions under real project conditions.
CRETA’s published expert network brings together perspectives across geoscience, water treatment, agriculture, sustainability and international project development.
Research collaboration, professional recognition and participation in energy dialogue form part of CRETA’s development. Explore the stories behind them.
CRETA announced a three-year collaboration agreement focused on sustainable solutions, emerging technologies and knowledge exchange between research and industry.
Dr. Moutaz Alriahy received the Arab Water Council’s Innovation and Creativity Award in Abu Dhabi, recognising his work in non-conventional water resources and geothermal innovation.
CRETA contributed to the first technical and executive roundtable of the UAE-led GEEA, sharing its perspective on geothermal energy and thermal efficiency.
Our published Code of Ethics sets out the principles that guide professional conduct, responsibilities and relationships at CRETA.
We welcome conversations with project owners, public institutions, research teams and technical partners.
