The Middle East is expanding its renewable energy and clean tech sectors at an accelerated pace, as several countries plan for economic diversification beyond oil and gas. While fossil fuels may continue to provide massive revenues for countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, these Middle Eastern states are ensuring they hold a competitive position in the future of international energy through the development of major wind, solar, green hydrogen, and other renewable energy projects.
The UAE hopes to reach a renewable energy mix of 44 percent by 2030, supported by the rapid development of the country’s solar power, as home to three of the world's largest solar plants. The UAE’s Noor Abu Dhabi solar park is expected to reduce the country’s carbon emissions by around one million metric tonnes annually, while the Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai is expected to produce enough solar energy to power 800,000 homes by the end of the decade.
