The UAE Clean Energy industry is also transforming and adopting new strategies side-by-side this "energy revolution". It is now taking a more holistic approach to the changing realities of power generation and consumption around the world.

   Everything done will now be grounded in what is feasible, given financial and technical constraints. This will result in better technology, thereby enabling healthier returns. 

   The main agenda is to advance the sustainable technologies and clean energy industry via education, research, development, investment, commercialisation and adaptation.

     It is often said that the UAE has enough hydrocarbon reserves to last beyond 100 years!!!

      The common question would be-

  "So why does the nation still want to become a global centre of excellence in renewable energy and clean technologies?"

     Well, the region has a very good reason to do so.

   With a culture tied to life in the harsh and unforgiving desert, the region well realises the lessons of traditional desert living, where sustainable practices and resource conservation were essential for survival.Therefore, it understands the tremendous challenges posed by climate change, environmental degradation and sustainable energy sources.

     Masdar (based in the capital Abu Dhabi) plays a vital role in the Clean Energy industry of the UAE.  The Masdar initiative is based on the principle that the energy systems and solutions of tomorrow will have their origins in development programmes of today. It also focusses on commercial viability of changing technologies as well. By doing all this,

 Masdar (meaning "the source" in Arabic) will become a well-spring of solutions that benefit not only its shareholders but also the sustainability of UAE and the planet as a whole.

    Lets hope this change in strategy of the county's Clean Energy sector is for the best!
