Ben-Gurion Prof. Arik Yochelis, an environmental physicist at the University of the Negev, and Prof. Avner Rothschild, a material scientist at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology, took a different approach and think they have discovered new pathways that would speed up the catalytic process and significantly lower the costs associated with the electrical energy used. The photoelectrochemical process, which splits water with the help of solar radiation, reduces the amount of electrical energy required to split the water molecule into hydrogen and oxygen. Four electrons must be transferred to produce one oxygen molecule (O2) and two hydrogen molecules during the…
As the biggest sporting event on earth gets underway, Qatar draws attention to the 2022 FIFA World Cup. Al Kharsaah, an 800 MW solar power project in Qatar, is now fully operational and connected to the grid. It is the third-largest solar power station in the world and the largest photovoltaic project ever built using a tracking system and bifacial modules. The plant is located 80 kilometers west of the capital Doha. The Qatar National Vision 2030 mentions it as the country’s first non-fossil fuel power plant. Qatar wants to use this project to advance the production of sustainable energy…
The federal law governing the connection of distributed renewable energy production units to the electrical grid, which aims to enable people to produce electrical energy from renewable sources and achieve the state’s objectives, has been approved, according to the UAE Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure. It is a step in the direction of the state’s diversification of renewable energy sources and its best use of its natural resources in a way that ensures emissions reduction and climate neutrality. The new law, according to the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure HE. Suhail bin Mohamed Al Mazrouei, intends to reduce carbon emissions,…

Abu Dhabi is making sure that climate change policy is not neglected because environmental sustainability is more important than ever in light of the pandemic and economic setbacks that have caused the world to go through a difficult time over the past couple of years. To protect its citizens from the effects of climate change, the emirate of Abu Dhabi is making…
At the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 27) in 2022, the governments of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, and the State of Israel signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to advance clean energy and sustainable water desalination projects unveiled last year. Project Prosperity, which consists of Prosperity Green and Prosperity Blue, is the subject of the MoU. In Prosperity Green, a 600 MW solar photovoltaic plant with electric storage will be constructed in Jordan to generate clean energy for export to Israel. A sustainable water desalination project called Prosperity Blue will annually export 200…
