Oisin, I appreciate your valuable report and feedback from our round table discussion at The World Hydrogen Summit 2024 in Rotterdam. As a supplier of hydrogen, I regularly encounter what is often referred to as the "chicken egg scenario," which has prompt me to explore downstream applications like Green Steel, Iron Fuel, and heavy mobility. I strongly believe these elements should become fundamental components of our potential funding models, alongside other financing approaches. Rather than exclusively focusing on funding and developing hydrogen, it is imperative that we collectively shift our focus towards integrating industries into the funding equation. This approach ensures that industries become integral off-takers within the entire hydrogen value chain. These ideas of us are presented as a creative strategy to achieve a zero carbon footprint, not just by being hydrogen suppliers, but by collectively involving industries in our comprehensive collaboration model.

#MOCCAE signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Estonian Ministries of Climate and Regional Affairs and Agriculture to strengthen joint efforts in managing food resources and embrace technology-driven solutions in these critical areas. The memorandum was signed at the ministry's headquarters in Dubai by HE Dr. Amna bint Abdullah Al Dahak, Minister of Climate Change and Environment, and HE Madis Kallas, Minister of Regional Affairs and Agriculture, who also represented the Ministry of Climate of the Republic of Estonia. On this occasion, HE Al Dahak stated: “In the UAE, we aim to deepen partnerships with nations on shared issues, particularly in food, which are our top priorities. This commitment drives us to adopt cutting-edge technologies, efficiently manage resources to align with our goal of reducing carbon emissions and promote a new economy that facilitates a sustainable future.” The MoU seeks to promote sustainable food systems by focusing on reducing waste, promoting digital solutions in agriculture, and leveraging advanced technology for increased productivity. Additionally, it addresses food safety, and improving crisis management and disaster response capabilities. #YearofSustainability #TodayforTomorrow

Last Monday, I participated in an insightful panel discussion at Static Arabia Expo 2024 on “Circular Carbon Economy: Sustainable, Cost Effective, and Pragmatic Approach.” Together with esteemed colleagues, we delved into the critical intersection of sustainability and cost-effective solutions in realizing a Circular Carbon Economy. It was inspiring to exchange ideas on leveraging technology and exploring commercial avenues to bring CCE projects to fruition. The discussions underscored the importance of adopting pragmatic approaches to sustainability, ensuring long-term viability and impact. As we navigate towards a more sustainable future, collaboration and innovative solutions will be key. We look forward to continuing the drive towards meaningful change and propel the transition towards a Circular Carbon Economy. #EnergyForward #NetZero

🌍 Excited to share that my teammate and I won the Logistics & Trade panel at the AIESEC in UAE Youth Speak Forum Dubai 2024 Hackathon! 🎉 Our task was to present a compelling strategy to DP World, advocating for elevated decarbonization targets. By highlighting the urgency of climate action, stakeholder expectations, and the business benefits of decarbonization, we showcased how DP World can lead in sustainable trade. Key points: 📍Emphasized the need for ambitious targets, aligning with global efforts like the Paris Agreement. 📍Analyzed competitors' strategies, like Maersk and Costco Shipping, to underscore the competitive advantage of decarbonization. 📍Proposed innovative solutions including AI-driven analytics, renewable energy investments, and strategic partnerships to achieve a 60% reduction in carbon footprint by 2030. Special thanks to Judge Piotr Konopka CEnv MEI, who guided us for the pitch and chose our team. Your insights were invaluable. Looking forward to driving more impactful initiatives in the future! #Sustainability #Innovation #Decarbonization #YouthSpeakForum #AIESEC #DPWorld #Hackathon
