Al-Masrooy stressed the importance of increasing investment in the energy sector and the continued involvement of international companies in investing in this strategic sector. We have seen reluctance from funders for oil and gas projects worldwide; After “COP 26”, the nations of the world today are calling for increased production, for which investors must have the financial resources to invest in the oil and gas sector.
Hydrogen
He said: The United Arab Emirates believes that hydrogen will be one of the future fuel sources. We have investments in blue hydrogen and have signed cooperation agreements with many countries around the world on cooperation in the field of green hydrogen and research in this strategic field. A clear strategy for the future will be launched soon.
Local market for electricity

How to ensure affordable energy, and thirdly, how to continue the efforts to ensure a low-carbon future. I am proud that the UAE has made great strides in many areas, including clean and renewable energy. ”
He said the energy sector could build structures that support energy development and carbon reduction efforts in the future (including solar and quiet nuclear power). Of the energy mixture. Due to the growing tendency to adopt the concept of “circular economy”, its components include carbon reduction, recycling and disposal.
He pointed out that the United Arab Emirates has joined the Global Pledge on Methane based on its position as one of the world’s lowest methane producing countries; The UAE, one of the least methane producing countries in the world, occupies 0.01%. The country has succeeded in reducing gas emissions by more than 90% in the local energy sector.
He said technology plays a key role in decorbonization efforts, including its application in carbon sequencing and storage, the Fourth Industrial Revolution techniques, improving production and processes, and promoting innovation in increasing resources and production. Innovation is the most important tool in the process of improving the set of skills and resources used in the industry to accelerate the accumulation of low carbon. The sector should promote research and development and enhance capabilities in the oil and gas sector, as well as improve technologies that reduce carbon emissions.
