Abstract:
Recognized as a major global energy exporter, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) faces the unique challenge of transitioning to more environmentally sustainable practices while maintaining its pivotal role in global energy supply. Despite an abundance of literature focusing on the transition of net-importer countries toward carbon neutrality, limited attention has been given to the socially and economically viable pathways of energy net-exporter countries. This study examines the UAE's transition toward carbon neutrality across the power, industrial, and transport sectors. It highlights variations in technology deployment and emphasizes the importance of prioritizing domestic biomass and investing in technologies like direct air capture (DAC). The findings highlight the broader significance of collaborative efforts to advance sustainable energy practices not only in the UAE but also globally.
