We are driving the energy transition in the Middle East by building reliable, affordable and resilient power infrastructure. Enabling sustainable development, energy access, energy security and low-carbon economic growth needs a holistic approach and innovative solutions that put people and communities at the center. Find out more about the technologies, the solutions and the people shaping the energy future in the Middle East.

How Dubai plans to become the city with the smallest carbon footprint by 2050.

Board member Lisa Davis’s insights on clean energy and its role in a peaceful world.

Since the 2015 G7 summit in Germany, the world has focused on a common goal: to turn away from fossil energy in favor of electricity as a universal energy source, with the ambition of achieving complete decarbonization by the year 2100. This presents all economies with tremendous challenges, and energy systems in particular are undergoing radical changes. At the 2018 UN-climate-conference (COP24) - this topic is further being discussed vigorously. For this development upheaval is referred to as the “3D Model of Energy” because it can be traced to three trends: decarbonization, decentralization, and digitalization.

Green Ammonia - a significant contributor to a low-carbon energy system?

Green ammonia as the new solution to carbon-free energy production and storage.

A few years ago, this issue popped up in Australia. Never to disappear again - as it already once did in the 1980s. At the time, oil prices dropped back down to a historical low and caused interest in a viable alternative, hydrogen, and more importantly the necessary support for research in order to pave its way and promote it, to wane.

The big question about future energy systems is how to design them so that they’ll remain stable despite volatile energy generated from wind and solar power. One important solution are Power-to-X technologies. Armin Schnettler, head of the Research in Energy and Electronics unit, and Gabriele Schmiedel, head of Hydrogen Solutions at Siemens, discuss the functionality, opportunities, and prospects of this technology. A plan by the transmission system operator Amprion plays an important role.
