Dubai Energy Council Reviews Clean Energy Progress and Net Zero Strategy
The Dubai Supreme Council of Energy convened its 88th meeting virtually to assess key clean energy initiatives and reaffirm the emirate's commitment to achieving net zero emissions by 2050. Attended by senior representatives from major government and energy entities, the meeting focused on strategic projects that support Dubai's clean energy transition. Among the highlights were updates on sustainable biofuel and green hydrogen initiatives, both central to the emirate's goal of becoming a global hub for renewable energy. The Council also reviewed the progress of the Demand Side Management Strategy 2050, which aims to cut electricity, water, and fuel consumption by 30% by 2030 and 50% by 2050 compared to business-as-usual scenarios. Discussions included achievements by the World Green Economy Organisation in building international partnerships and developing local capabilities to lead the shift toward a green economy. Council members reaffirmed their alignment with Dubai's long-term strategies, including the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050, both of which target 100% clean energy production capacity by mid-century.
