How Dubai is moving to renewables

Does the world need a transition to clean energy and a shift away from fossil fuels, when even a country that literally has an abundance of oil and gas does not want to use them? It seems to us that the answer is obvious. In November 2015, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of UAE and also the ruler of Dubai, launched the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy program. The ambitious goal is to make Dubai the city with the lowest carbon footprint on the planet by 2050. To do this, 75% of all electricity needs will be provided by solar power plants, and the remaining 25% by other clean energy sources. To understand the scale of the project; in 2020, solar energy accounted for only 10%. One of the pillars of the strategy was Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. The phased construction of this huge solar power plant, 50 kilometers from Dubai, was divided into five phases. In the first stage in 2013, a small solar power plant with a capacity of 13 MW was erected in the desert. But the second stage in 2017, its capacity increased by 200 MW. Not so much, right? In 2020, the third stage was completed; the increase in capacity amounted to another 800 megawatts. If classical solar farms were built in the first three stages, then objects with different solar energy technologies appeared in the fourth. Another 917 megawatts.

    My 10 335 watt SunPower solar PV panels on my garage roof generates 6,000 kilowatt hours annually. Basically net zero now. Let's rapidly build our renewably powered world 🌎 !

    6000 [KWh]/8760 [hrs/year]/10.335 [kW]= 6% of utilization factor. "The typical values of the solar capacity factor are between 10% and 25%. For the solar utility power plant, solar capacity is around 24.5%."

    @generictester Yes, I use the wind/natural gas powered grid in the evenings and winter time to heat and power my electrified house. During the day I use my solar PV electricity to heat up my thermal mass tiled slab under my desk and in the evenings I run two 1,500 watt electric heaters. I use far, far less energy to heat my house now that I maxed out the insulation in my attic, floor and perimeter walls. I disconnected the natural gas service to my house.

    Wtf? 25 years. Are people going to throw away all the panels when they reach 80% capacity. The energy market would be flooded with used solar panels in decent condition lol

    What makes a system meet the definition of green ? 1ST It must make more power than was used to pull it out of the ground refine it melt it mold it machine it deliver install maintain then remove ship and 100% recycle it. ONLY hydro lasts long enough to meet the level. And even then there are no dams running three turbine halls it has been made

    In 2028, the first small modular reactor (SMR) will be on line in Canada - GE Hitachi's BWRX-300; closely followed in 2029 by the Rolls-Royce UK SMR and NuScale's VOYGR. They are all Gen III+ 'walk-away safe' power plants with emergency planning zones (EPZs) at the boundary fence instead of the 10 miles radius applied to Gen III+ designs of 'Big-Nuclear'. They can be built in 2 to 4 years and financed by commercial money markets. at overnight capital costs (OCCs) between 40% and 60% lower than 'Big-Nuclear'. They are so investable, they will drain the financing lifeblood out of wind and solar power plant (WASPP) technologies. SMRs can readily decarbonise power generation. But few, if any, in authority realise that greenH2 is as important to decarbonising all the other sectors of energy use as is low-carbon electricity. And this is where the Occam's Razor of energy decarbonisation can become reality. SMRs combined with electrolyser plants can load follow demand instantaneously on a daily basis by switching between grid electricity generation and greenH2 manufacture. The SMRs can operate at 100% availability - their most efficient mode. They get paid by 2 revenue streams and maybe others - in the UK - for load-following grid service; for frequency-correction grid service. Seasonal load following is achieved through carefully calculated refuelling and maintenance outages. The need for any energy storage might well be met in most part by the volumes that exist in a nation's gas network infrastructure. No need for batteries or pumped hydro; no need for any politically-sensitive dams for conventional hydropower. And all of this at many times better than a zero-sum-game since the build out will be a tiny fraction of the financial cost of pollution from the burning of fossil fuels, let alone the prevention of millions of premature deaths also caused every year. It may not happen by by 2050, but by the end of the century we could be just about there.

    I still think nuclear even fission nuclear is a better option. They've long since solved the problem of storing waste even by reusing waste to continue to generating power & making nuclear batteries from other videos I've seen. All the new tech coming up for small nuclear & safety measures invented after Fukushima...Nuclear seems the cheapest, most reliable option & you don't need batteries to store it at night which seem more toxic & destructive to the earth in mining than nuclear itself. I think nuclear's only problem is public perception which is not really a problem to me. Don't let ignorance decide social issues.
