Dubai Global Energy Forum 2011: Future focus on carbon reduction solutions
Dubai, March 29, 2011 (WAM) - The Dubai Supreme Council of Energy announced that the Dubai Global Energy Forum 2011, the first global event of its kind in the Emirate of Dubai on energy related issues, will be discussing the UAE's and the world's CO2 emissions and carbon reduction with inputs and news by some of the world's most acknowledged energy experts.
Recently, this topic is of special interest to the country as it was revealed that the government outlined in its UAE Government Vision for 2021 its plans to develop a sustainable environment and infrastructure in which carbon dioxide can be considered a resource, not a cost. The UAE, being the highest energy exporter per capita, has a vision to become the lowest-carbon economy in the region and is taking many steps to achieve its goal.
At present, the UAE hosts four registered Clean Development Mechanism projects avoiding about 350,000 tons of CO2 emissions from the atmosphere, whereas strategic initiatives lead by the Council, amongst which the Dubai Carbon Centre of Excellence alone, have a forecasted volume of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) of 1.7 million tons by 2012 and target 5 million by 2015.
Saeed Al Tayer, Vice Chairman of the Supreme Council of Energy, said, "Carbon management and reduction are at the top of the list of every country's energy and environmental concerns. It is important that we not only learn and gain best practices from experts across the globe, but also that the key players in the UAE unite to achieve the goals set out before us. The upcoming Dubai Global Energy Forum will be a platform to gain valuable insights into this widely-discussed issue from a number of national and top global researchers, scientists and analysts. As such, these sessions are invaluable to today's energy and economy leaders worldwide."
The Supreme Council of Energy has put together the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy for 2030 to participate in the UAE's vision to create an environmentally-friendly and sustainable economic policy where carbon reduction is a key factor and which will be revealed at the upcoming Forum in April. The Dubai Carbon Centre of Excellence (DCCE); the first centre of its kind in the region, is working under the umbrella of the Supreme Council of Energy with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to leverage the Emirate's carbon potential through the Clean Development Mechanism.
The Dubai Carbon Centre of Excellence (DCCE) has been assigned the task of focusing on global carbon-project opportunities, while simultaneously acting as the Dubai-based stimulant to the generation of a carbon-efficient economy by developing carbon incentives for the Emirate's key stakeholders. - Emirates News Agency, WAM
