The key challenges facing the Middle East energy industry are optimising energy production while reducing emissions, increasing renewable energy capacity, developing green hydrogen and ammonia production, and upskilling local workforces to drive self-sufficiency, according to KBR.
The sustainable technology solutions company will explore strategies for balancing economic development and decarbonising the region’s energy sector at the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) 2024 between November 4-7 – ahead of gasworld’s MENA Industrial Gases Conference on November 18-20.
Nimit Shah, Regional Vice-President, Middle East & Africa at KBR, said it will be discussing how it is working with ADNOC and other regional leaders to achieve their ambitious sustainability goals while maintaining ‘robust energy production’.
He said, “This balanced approach is crucial across the Middle East, where nations are focused on both economic growth and environmental responsibility. We’re seeing this commitment through initiatives like ADNOC’s $23bn investment in lower-carbon solutions and their goal of Net Zero by 2045.”
