think ahead: Energy Transition, A View from the UAE

Energy Transition Clean Energy Middle East

Introduction

The discussion with Alex from PetaC focused on the energy transition in the Middle East, particularly in the context of oil and gas companies like Adnoc and Saudi Aramco shifting towards clean energy projects.

PetaC: A company specializing in oil and gas services, now expanding into energy transition projects.
Net Zero: The goal of balancing the amount of greenhouse gases emitted with an equivalent amount removed from the atmosphere.
Carbon Capture: The process of capturing carbon dioxide emissions from sources like power plants or industrial facilities.
Green Hydrogen: Hydrogen produced using renewable energy sources like wind or solar power.

PetaC has been involved in oil and gas projects for over 40 years but is now focusing on energy transition projects like carbon capture, hydrogen production, and offshore wind.
The Middle East, particularly companies like Adnoc and Saudi Aramco, are investing in clean energy projects to reduce emissions and meet Net Zero targets.
Technologies like carbon capture, green hydrogen, and sustainable aviation fuel are seen as key solutions for reducing emissions in the region.
Consumers also play a role in driving the transition by making sustainable choices in their daily lives, such as food consumption and transportation.

The transition to clean energy in the Middle East is essential for companies like Adnoc and Saudi Aramco to remain competitive and meet global demand for low-carbon energy.
Individual consumer choices can also impact the transition by influencing the demand for sustainable products and services.
