The Energy Industries Council's report highlights the Middle East's significant venture into renewable energy, with a projected investment of $75.63 billion in various projects by 2030. These projects, including solar, wind, hydropower, hydrogen production, and more, aim to contribute to the region's transition towards cleaner energy sources. While the majority of energy investments in the Middle East are still directed at oil and gas, there is a notable shift towards renewables. This dual approach signifies the complexity of the region's energy transition, balancing traditional hydrocarbon dominance with investments in clean technologies like hydrogen and carbon capture. The report mentions challenges in onshore wind power development due to costs and grid limitations, contrasting with successful solar projects like the Rashid bin Mohamed Al-Makhtoum Solar Park Phase 5. Despite the increasing presence of renewables, oil and gas are expected to maintain their dominance in the energy sector for the foreseeable future. The EIC's active role in supporting the region's energy transition through project data and industry events underlines the importance of the Middle East in the clean technology landscape.
