The Region’s carbon emission has doubled.

Carbon emissions has started growing in the Middle East and North African cities in recent years by two to 10 times of the average global citizen. These countries which are rich in oil and gas are more susceptible to harmful abuse and emissions ,than the poor countries by burning fuel to generate electricity, power cars and other. A monitoring process of the emissions is necessary to encourage responsibility in the use of energy and help resolve climate change in the Arabian Gulf.The United Arab Emirates is taking positive steps and initiaves in order to minimize the use of carbon emissions and methods of absorption and processing.  This is because they are among the world’s top per-capita carbon emitters.
The purpose of this research is not to ascribe blame but to raise the alarm about the dangers which these emissions cause.

solar power plant


Solar Energy Plant

Gemasolar is a solar plant which is a joint venture by Masdar of Abu Dhabi and the Spanish engineering Company Sener. The idea behind this plant is to produce heat energy from the sun by using mirrors.

The mirrors reflect the sun rays and heat salt which becomes liquid and transfer the heat to the receiver technology. So the salt is pumped to the tower from storage tank to power up a steam turbine to produce electricity.

Produce around 110 gigawatt per hour. It is scheduled to heat thousands of homes. So the challenge is to maximize the plant output and storage the energy from the sun for use when needed.

The mirrors are very big so they have a control room to keep them following the sun.

The plant is state of the art and very exciting for the future of the green energy.
