阿联酋能源战略2050-15页_7mb

The UAE Energy Strategy 2050 was launched in 2017 and recently updated in July 2023 to align with new climate goals. This strategy outlines a phased approach: the first phase targets 2030, with the second phase aiming for net zero emissions by 2050.

Key goals include reducing carbon emissions from energy generation operations by 70% by 2030 and achieving net zero by 2050. The clean energy share is targeted at 50% by 2050, with capital investment estimates decreasing from approximately 337 billion AED in 2017 to 150-200 billion AED by 2023. By 2050, the total cost of energy generation is projected at about 500 billion AED, with a unit cost reduction from 38 fils/kWh to 25-30 fils/kWh, and energy efficiency improved to 42-45%.

Major changes in the update include tripling renewable energy capacity by 2031, new emissions targets, and the development of a hydrogen economy. The UAE's energy transition rank climbed eight positions, and the country is among the cleanest producers of electricity globally, with grid emissions at 0.270 kgCO2/kWh by 2030—lower than the Middle East and Asia averages in 2021.

Sectors impacted include hydrogen, with ambitious R&D and production targets; green mobility, aiming for increased electric vehicle penetration and charging infrastructure; and building decarbonization by 2050, featuring reduced energy and water consumption and carbon emission cuts.

Overall, the strategy emphasizes sustainability, climate action, and energy sector transformation to support the UAE's national vision by 2071.
