With an eye on a future beyond oil, the Gulf countries are marching ahead with an ambitious domestic transition to renewable energy. From investing in renewables, nuclear, hydrogen, electric vehicles, and carbon capture to climate diplomacy, and hosting the world’s major international climate meetings such as COP 28 in the UAE), Gulf countries aspire to secure their position as leaders in both clean energy, as well as transition the oil and gas industry in the evolving energy landscape. This lecture delves into ambitious plans to become global leaders in the new energy industry. It will explore the motives driving the Gulf states’ renewable energy transition, examine the diverse strategies employed to “transition away from fossil fuels”, and examine the implications of these strategies on the global energy outlook.
