Articles On UAE And Global Warming

UAE to cut carbon dioxide emissions

Recently I read an article on the internet about how the UAE is going to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.

The UAE has announced the launch of a major national carbon dioxide emission reduction program that is going to make a carbon dioxide capture and storage network. This capture and storage network will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 40% and increase oil production by up to 10%. This network works by separating carbon dioxide from industrial and energy related sources and is transported to oil reservoirs for enhanced oil recovery. This program is part of the Masdar Initiative, which is a UAE based international advanced energy venture that focuses on sustainable energy and other clean technologies.

It’s great to hear that the UAE is taking part in the fight against global warming, and I hope in the future they continue to take part in it.

UAE to host Kyoto workshop

Recently I read an article on the internet that the UAE is going to host the Kyoto workshop.

The UAE is going to host a three-day Kyoto workshop in Abu Dhabi. The meeting will be about “Reporting Methodologies on Article 3.14 of the Kyoto Protocol”. This article requires industrialized countries and countries with economies in transition to implement their emission targets in a way to minimize the negative social, environmental and economic impact on developing countries including oil producing nations. The UAE representatives from relevant organizations are going to attend and participate in this event. The Kyoto Protocol received the backing of more than 55 countries, including the UAE.

From all the countries in the world they held this event in the UAE, I suppose it’s due to how environmental the UAE is, I hope they continue to participate in these events.
