ABU DHABI, March 24 (Xinhua) The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has added 1,400 megawatts of zero-carbon emission electricity to its national grid, following the start of commercial operations of Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant's Unit 2.
Abu Dhabi will halve CO2 power gen emissions by 2025
Another Abu Dhabi commitment to a brighter future…
The opening of Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant Unit 1 in Abu Dhabi has just leveled up the Emirate’s capability to cut the carbon count.
What is Abu Dhabi doing to lower carbon emissions?
When you also factor in Abu Dhabi’s renewable energy commitments, which include the construction of the world’s largest solar power plants and a pioneering reverse osmosis seawater desalination plant, the future is looking green, clean and decidedly carbon lean.
So lean in fact that these new energy and water processeing operations are forecasted to decrease CO2 emissions from the current 40 million tonnes we’re on track for in 2021 to just 20 million tonnes by 2025.
