Dubai has been taking measures to solve the emirate's energy supply problem by increasing the share of renewable energy. This is what Faisal Ali Rashid, Senior Director of Demand Side Management, Dubai's Supreme Energy Council, said.

Rashid said: "By the end of 2021, the renewable energy mix will reach 12%, and we are moving towards the goal of reaching 25% by 2030 and 75% by 2050. "In terms of demand management, we also In launching all plans, including electricity and water, as well as reducing fuel."

Al Abbar said, "There is an urgent need to achieve net zero, we need to make a transformational change to our economic model (and) our system, and the UAE is now definitely regarded as a global leader in sustainable development and sustainable energy."

Ian Edwards, DNV's Middle East and Africa regional manager, said: "Shipping is responsible for 90% of the world's trade, and its emissions account for only about 2% of global carbon dioxide emissions-shipping can be part of the solution for the future. DNV’s research shows that by 2050, about 30% to 40% of the global shipping energy demand needs to be provided by carbon-neutral fuels. "Fortunately, in the UAE, we have the tremendous leadership and initiative of many companies, ADNOC Abu The port of Dhabi is also studying how to produce hydrogen and ammonia," Edwards said.

Edwards said: "There will be a shift. The transition of most large ocean-going ships in the world is in the form of liquefied natural gas fuel." A dual-fuel solution. There is also fuel oil on board, but also liquefied natural gas. The fuel is on board-some companies in the UAE are accepting this technology". He added: This is a good alternative that can reduce greenhouse gases by about 20%. Editor/XuNing
