Why Abu Dhabi for renewable and sustainable energy?
In April 2006, Abu Dhabi took a bold and historic decision to embrace renewable and sustainable energy solutions. As the first major hydrocarbon-producing nation to take such a step, it established its leadership position by launching Masdar, a global cooperative platform dedicated to finding and deploying solutions to some of mankind’s most pressing issues: energy security, climate change and truly sustainable human development.
Abu Dhabi is leveraging its substantial financial resources and experience in global energy markets into the technologies of the future. One key objective of Masdar is to position Abu Dhabi as a world-class research and development hub for new energy technologies, effectively balancing its strong position in an evolving
world energy market.
The World Future Energy Summit and Exhibition was first launched with the full support of MASDAR and the UAE Government in January 2008 and proved to be a resounding success with the number of visitors descending on the event from all over the world far exceeding expectations. Besides having HRH the Duke of York in person presenting a key note speech, the opening ceremony also featured a holograghed address from HRH Prince Charles which was a unique achievement. This year’s event proved to be even more successful and a few statistics are shown below: -
