Just as compostable rubbish bags and cardboard straws are inferior products from a practical standpoint, alternative fuels (solar, wind and hydro) cannot sustain the base-load of National Grids. They are 'feel-good factors'. Fossil fuels are essential for transportation, all-year power generation, and as a feedstock for all sorts of industrial processes that the general public has no comprehension of. #RealityBites.

The recent announcement by #Qatar to expand its #LNG capacity to 142 million tons by 2030 makes evident the continued importance of natural gas in the global energy mix. قطر تعمل بجد على توسيع قدرتها على إنتاج الغاز الطبيعي المسال لتصل إلى 142 مليون طن بحلول عام 2030 ، هذا يبرز الأهمية المستمرة والكبيره #الغاز_الطبيعي_المسال في مزيج الطاقة العالمي While #renewable #energy sources are critical for the future, the reality is we need a many-sided approach. Complete divestment from fossil fuels in the short term simply isn't feasible. في حين تعتبر مصادر #الطاقة المتجددة (#متجددة) ، أمراً بالغ الأهمية للمستقبل، فإن الحقيقة هي أننا بحاجة إلى ما يوصف ب النهج المتعدد الأوجه التخلي التام عن الوقود الأحفوري على المدى القصير ليس بالأمر الواقعي ببساطة Natural gas, with its lower emissions profile compared to other fossil fuels, can act as a bridge fuel during this energy transition. However, this shouldn't be seen as a step backward. Investment in natural gas infrastructure should go hand-in-hand with the continued development of renewables. This will ensure a smoother transition towards a cleaner energy future. What are your thoughts on the role of natural gas in the energy transition? #LNG #EnergySecurity #ClimateChange

A memorandum of understanding was signed yesterday in Rabat by Ms. Leila Benali, PhD., Minister of Energy Transition and Sustainable Development, Ms. Nadia Fettah Alaoui, Minister of Economy and Finance, and Mr. Nizar Baraka, Minister of Equipment and Water, on the coordination between public authorities for the implementation of an infrastructure development program for the import of liquefied natural gas, and the storage, regasification and transportation of natural gas. This agreement also includes the Ministry of Interior and relevant public institutions and companies such as the National Ports Agency #ANP, the National Office of Electricity and Drinking Water #ONEE, the National Office of Hydrocarbons and Mines (ONHYM), the National Society of Motorways of Morocco #ADM and the #Nador West Med Company. It is part of the Kingdom of Morocco's ongoing commitment to strengthen its energy sovereignty, decarbonize the economy and ensure connectivity to regional and global markets. In the short term, this program includes the strengthening of gas pipelines connecting local gas producing basins to consumers, the development of an LNG import terminal at the Nador West Med port and the construction of a new gas pipeline connecting the terminal to the Maghreb-European pipeline This program will help accelerate the development of renewable energies, the implementation of Morocco's green hydrogen offer and the Afro-Atlantic gas pipeline project.

Minister of Energy and Minerals: Producing at least 30% of electrical energy or electrical energy consumption from renewable energy by 2030 AD. 🌍 Exploring Renewable Energy Challenges in Oman 🇴🇲 As the global focus shifts towards sustainable energy sources, Oman stands at a pivotal crossroads in its renewable energy journey. While the potential for renewable energy in Oman is vast, several challenges must be addressed to fully realize its benefits. 1️⃣ Grid Integration: One of the primary challenges is integrating renewable energy sources like solar and wind into the existing grid infrastructure. This requires significant investment in grid modernization and smart technologies to ensure stability and reliability. 2️⃣ Storage Solutions: Another key hurdle is the development of efficient energy storage solutions. Storage technologies such as batteries are crucial for balancing supply and demand fluctuations inherent in renewable sources, especially in areas like Oman with high solar potential. 3️⃣ Policy Framework: A robust policy framework is essential to incentivize investment in renewable energy projects. Clear regulations, favorable incentives, and streamlined permitting processes can attract private sector participation and drive growth in the renewable energy sector. 4️⃣ Skill Development: Building a skilled workforce capable of designing, implementing, and maintaining renewable energy systems is vital. Investing in education and training programs can ensure Oman has the talent pool required to support its renewable energy ambitions. 5️⃣ Water-Energy Nexus: Given Oman's arid climate, the water-energy nexus presents a unique challenge. Balancing water usage in renewable energy production, particularly in technologies like solar thermal, is critical for sustainability. By addressing these challenges through collaboration between government, industry, and academia, Oman can unlock its renewable energy potential, reduce carbon emissions, and create a more sustainable future for generations to come. Let's work together towards a greener Oman! 💚🌞 #RenewableEnergy #Oman #Sustainability #greenfuture

https://lnkd.in/dT7gBeQ8 GCF Project FP 039 GCF-EBRD Egypt Renewable Energy Financing Framework Scaling up renewable energy in Egypt through renewable energy integration and leveraged investments. The Renewable Energy Financing Framework will support Egypt in meeting its target of renewable energy through two complementary components. The first is a comprehensive technical assistance programme to enhance renewable energy integration, policies, and planning. The second component is to scale up investments to support the development and construction of renewable energy projects totalling USD 1 billion. This will be done by blending GCF and EBRD financing to leverage debt financing from international and development financial institutions, and at a later stage from commercial banks and private sector investments. #GCF #climatechange #climatefinance #Egypt
