The use of alternative energy or renewable energy in the UAE for electricity generation is just another important step towards the country’s ultimate goal to achieve long-term sustainability. The UAE has always championed the cause of sustainability. The various initiatives for sustainable developments in the UAE have time and again focused on the conservation of the environment through clean energy, green development and finding alternative eco-friendly solutions for the increasing demand for water and electricity in the country. ]]> 2021-08-17 11:10:40 UTC https://padlet.com/Arsh_/xldfn4sdh2aynwf6/wish/1681969228 Arsh_ https://padlet.com/Arsh_/xldfn4sdh2aynwf6/wish/1681969530 One of the most prominent objectives of the UAE Energy Strategy 2050 is to increase the use of clean energy to constitute 50% of the total energy usage in the country. Clean energy is derived from renewable or sustainable energy sources that are not harmful to the environment. Renewable energy is derived from the earth’s natural resources like the sun, wind and water.

Its core is being built by Masdar, a subsidiary of Mubadala Development Company, with the majority of seed capital provided by the Government of Abu Dhabi. Designed by the British architectural firm Foster and Partners, the city relies on solar energy and other renewable energy sources. Masdar City is being constructed 17 kilometres (11 mi) east-south-east of the city of Abu Dhabi, a five minute drive from Abu Dhabi International Airport and 40 minutes from Dubai. The city will be connected to existing urban areas via roads and light-rail. Masdar City hosts the headquarters of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA). The city is designed to be a hub for cleantech companies. Its first tenant was the Masdar Institute of Science and Technology, which has been operating in the city since it moved into its campus in September 2010.]]> 2021-08-17 11:15:32 UTC https://padlet.com/Arsh_/xldfn4sdh2aynwf6/wish/1681972292 Arsh_ https://padlet.com/Arsh_/xldfn4sdh2aynwf6/wish/1681988212 While the UAE is void of rivers to produce hydro power, it has worked tirelessly to introduce wind, solar and nuclear power as alternative sources of energy in the country. 
 
Solar energy is one of the most reliable sources of sustainable energy in the UAE and it’s popular across the world for its abundance. In 2013, the UAE ranked third in the world for the production of concentrated solar power (CSP) with a production capacity of about 140 MW. 
 
When it comes to low-cost sources of renewable energy, wind energy is one of the most widely used alternative energy sources. This prominent type of renewable energy is found in abundance on the UAE’s coastal belt. Wind energy in the UAE can be used to convert the kinetic energy of the wind into mechanical or electrical energy. Masdar Company will build the country’s first wind turbine to generate electricity on Sir Bani Yas Island. This plant will have the capacity to produce 850 kW energy per hour.

The completion was slated for this year, but currently only a fraction of the town has been built and as per recent reports the project hasn't quite achieved its purpose. Though the completion is now estimated to be in 2030, the UAE is still eager to be seen as a leader in renewable energy and sustainability. His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rahid Al Maktoum’s tweet, earlier this year, confirms it. ]]> 2021-08-17 12:08:40 UTC https://padlet.com/Arsh_/xldfn4sdh2aynwf6/wish/1682015027 Arsh_ https://padlet.com/Arsh_/xldfn4sdh2aynwf6/wish/1682062024 Touted as the 'City of the Future', this project was introduced as the world's first zero-carbon, zero-waste and car-free city where photovoltaic panels would generate electricity and concentrated solar power would provide the cooling. And that's not all. A solar-powered desalination plant would be responsible for providing water, while landscaping within and crops grown around the city would be irrigated with grey water and treated waste water produced by the city’s water treatment plant.]]> 2021-08-17 12:40:37 UTC https://padlet.com/Arsh_/xldfn4sdh2aynwf6/wish/1682062024
