Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure to showcase achievements, future courses of action during ADIPEC 2022

ABU DHABI, The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI) will participate in the Abu Dhabi International Petroleum Exhibition and Conference (ADIPEC) 2022, at Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC).

The event, which will run from 31st October to 3rd November 3, will review the UAE’s achievements in the energy sector and the most prominent innovative, pioneering projects and initiatives in the sector, specifically those related to clean energy.

Sharif Al Olama, Under-Secretary of the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure for the Energy and Petroleum Sector, said, “The Ministry’s participation in ADIPEC comes as a way to boost its leading position regionally and globally to exchange experience and knowledge. This will serve the UAE’s efforts to diversify energy sources, achieving net-zero, and enhancing opportunities for cooperation between policy and decision-makers in the energy sector, to support the development of a sustainable, safe and low-cost energy system.”

“As part of its participation, the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure will shed light on the UAE’s achievements in the energy sector, especially clean energy, and its unique efforts in environmental sustainability and facing climate change. It will also highlight its future goals that are in line with the “Principles of the Fiftieth,” and effective steps, procedures and ambitious initiatives which support the UAE’s march towards global leadership in energy, sustainability and climate change with a foresight of achieving the goals of the UAE Centennial 2071,” he added.

Al Olama pointed that the ministry has been keen to actively participate in ADIPEC, as one of the most prominent international exhibitions and conferences concerned with the energy sector in line with the wise vision of UAE’s leadership in enhancing security, sustainability and energy efficiency and affordability.

He stated that the latest ADIPEC edition is important as it is held a week before the kick-off of the Conferences of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP 27), hosted by Egypt.

“It also comes a year before the UAE hosts the COP 28 and is in line with the global challenges facing the sector, especially the energy supply. The UAE has a clear futuristic approach to achieving net-zero, conserving the environment and natural resources, and moving forward with its related plans. For this reason, the UAE announced in October 2021 its strategic initiative for achieving net-zero by 2050, making the UAE the first country in the MENA region to announce this goal ,” said Al Olama.

“During the past period, we have worked vigorously according to the guidance of our wise leaders, to promote the energy sector, especially the clean energy sector, by unifying the efforts and capabilities to boost the status of the country and enable sustainable growth in the sector. We are confidently moving forward to more achievements for the next fifty years.”

Al Olama added that the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure is closely cooperating with various federal and local authorities to achieve the net-zero goal, given that climate change is one of the most important issues at the national, regional and global levels.
