UAE still sticks to plans to become carbon neutral by 2050

The United Arab Emirates is still maintaining plans to transition to a carbon-neutral economy by 2050, said Mao Samuel, director of the ASPIRE Sustainable Energy Research Institute and co-chair of the UAE Universities Climate Network, on the sidelines of the Renwex 2025 forum.

“We are going to achieve zero emissions by 2040, and by 2050 we expect to work not with oil and gas, but with renewable energy,” he said.

According to M. Samuel, the UAE has already begun to build, together with high-tech companies in the field of digitalization, a fundamentally new energy ecosystem for the country.
