Strategic planning for a sustainable future Renewable energy is an essential requirement for sustainability and stands at the forefront of the UAE’s strategic priorities.

While burning hydrogen is a carbon neutral activity and impacts Scope 3 emissions positively, the hydrogen itself may not be produced in a carbon neutral application.

Public opinion, governmental regulations, and most importantly, economics, are pushing the O&G industry to diversify its assets into renewables.

Virtual Power Plant technologies are changing the way the electricity grid interacts with Renewable and Distributed Energy Resources.

In May 2020, South Korea unveiled a long-term energy plan (basic energy policy for the years 2020-2034) shifting from thermal and nuclear power generation to renewable energies

Japan’s previous objective was to become carbon neutral after 2050.

This target follows an ILS80bn (US$24bn) plan unveiled in June 2020 and aimed at increasing the share of solar in the power generation to 30% by 2030,

The debate over carbon border measures flows from the EU's policy of imposing a price on carbon emissions in the EU which is not replicated in much of the rest of the world, with some exceptions, presenting a threat to European carbon-intensive industry's competitiveness.

bp, Eni, Equinor, National Grid, Shell and Total form Northern Endurance Partnership to develop ‎offshore carbon dioxide infrastructure in the UK North Sea, with bp as operator

New nuclear build is the most efficient way to achieve decarbonisation of the electricity grid,

In 2040, despite increasing investments in renewables and concerns with emissions, oil and gas are still projected to make up about 50 percent of the global energy mix. This is a view held by major third-party sources.

Russia's Rosatom has entered a competition to establish a nuclear power plant in Saudi Arabia, as part of Rosatom’s global expansion.

In May 2020, as Europe was waking up from the first lockdown in response to COVID-19, the European Union (EU) announced earmarking funding up to €30 billion to produce 1 million metric tons (t) of green hydrogen per year,

The United States has been competing with China and Russia and other countries to supply nuclear power technology to countries hoping to build their first reactors, or boost their programs.

The goal of carbon-neutrality by 2060 will require China to kick its longstanding addiction to coal while building unprecedented amounts of intermittent wind and solar capacity.
