Doha: Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute (QEERI), part of Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), recently released the first Qatar Solar Atlas, a tool that quantifies the country’s solar resource and its geographical distribution as a first step toward accelerating the use of more solar energy across the country.
A culmination of research work conducted over the last five years by QEERI’s Energy Center, the Solar Atlas aims to support the development of progressive national policies on solar-based sustainable energy. It also aims to identify new profitable investments and markets to drive the creation of “green” jobs and a technological innovation ecosystem.

Doha: The Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute (QEERI) at Hamad Bin Khalifa University, and the Climate and Atmosphere Research Center (CARE-C) of The Cyprus Institute (CyI), have signed a collaboration agreement to estimate and predict contamination risks and associated impacts from the atmospheric dispersion of radionuclides accidentally released by a major industrial facility in the Middle East.
The purpose of the QEERI-CARE-C collaboration is to develop a methodology for environmental hazard risk and vulnerability assessment in the Middle East. In addition, to test this methodology by estimating the risk to the population in the State of Qatar, in case of a severe accident at a nuclear or industrial risk site.

A team of researchers from Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute (QEERI), and the College of Science and Engineering (CSE), both part of Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU), has developed a new material for water treatment applications. Carbide Derived Carbon (CDC) has the unique ability to efficiently remove and recover phosphate from treated water, while also removing micro-pollutants such as pharmaceuticals and endocrine disrupting compounds.
As per the Qatar National Vision 2030 and the Nationality Sustainable Development Strategy, there is a mandate for increased use of treated sewage effluent (TSE), and as such, there is a need to ensure that the TSE meets the necessary quality requirements. Pharmaceuticals proliferation in the environment is a problem for environmental and human health leading to issues in the ecosystem and poten
