Petroleum companies QatarEnergy and TotalEnergies SE (EPA:TTE) have signed an agreement to develop a #solar complex of up to 1.25 GWp in #Iraq. The development is part of the Gas Growth Integrated Project (GGIP), which TotalEnergies has been promoting since 2021. QatarEnergy said on Monday that it will acquire a 50% interest in the solar project, pending regulatory approval. Its French peer will retain the remaining 50%. The facility, set to be located in the Basra region of Iraq, will feature 2 million high-efficiency bifacial solar panels mounted on single-axis trackers. The partners will develop the project in phases, aiming to commission them between 2025 and 2027, QatarEnergy said. Once powered up, the solar complex will have the capacity to supply around 350,000 homes in the Basra region. “I am pleased to have concluded our entry into this very important project for Iraq’s energy sector, and look forward to working with our strategic partner, TotalEnergies, to progress it to fruition. We thank the Iraqi government for their trust, and TotalEnergies for this opportunity to support Iraq’s solar power development,” said Saad Sherida al-Kaabi, CEO of QatarEnergy and Qatar’s energy minister. QatarEnergy holds a 25% stake a consortium leading the development of the GGIP, a Basra-based natural resources and flared gas recovery project with a solar power component in the mix. TotalEnergies owns 45% of the GGIP consortium, with Iraq’s Basra Oil Company, holding the remaining 30%.

We are pleased to share an insightful article authored by our Chief Admin and Support Services Officer and Sustainability Lead, Ms. Aysha AlShriem, featured in the September 2024 issue 20 of the APUEA Magazine. Titled "Navigating the Energy Transition to a Net Zero World: The Role of District Cooling," the article addresses the urgent need for collective action in achieving a sustainable future. As climate impacts escalate, the energy sector must significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. District cooling emerges as a promising solution, providing energy-efficient cooling for urban areas. Unlike individual cooling systems, district cooling centralizes processes, effectively reducing the urban heat island effect and enhancing biodiversity. The article emphasizes the importance of a city-wide approach to sustainability. By integrating renewable energy sources and optimizing energy efficiency, district cooling not only manages peak electricity demand but also supports grid stability, reducing reliance on fossil fuels. Despite initial challenges, such as infrastructure costs and stakeholder resistance, the necessity for a sustainable future compels us to take decisive action. Collaboration among policymakers, urban planners, and energy providers is essential to embed district cooling into broader sustainability frameworks. By investing in district cooling, we can create a resilient urban infrastructure that prioritizes renewable energy and equitable access to cooling solutions. This approach is crucial for securing a prosperous future for generations to come. We invite you to read Aysha's article to explore how district cooling can be a key player in our transition to a net zero world. 👉Read here - https://lnkd.in/dVM_b9eQ Aysha Al-Shriem Asia Pacific Urban Energy Association (APUEA)

👏👏 Growing engagement in the MENA region to empower stakeholders to take the lead in methane assessment and mitigation! The UN Environment Programme's IMEO co-organized an intensive training on methane emissions, detection and quantification, and mitigation opportunities in the Kingdom of Bahrain. 🎯 The training highlighted IMEO’s Methane Alert and Response System (MARS) and Oil and Gas Methane Partnership 2.0 (OGMP 2.0), including discussion of how both initiatives can enable mitigation. The Kingdom of Bahrain recently appointed a focal point for engagement with UNEP’s IMEO on MARS, and BAPCO Energies joined the OGMP 2.0 in November 2023. This event demonstrated important progress on efforts to enhance methane management and sustainability practices in the Kingdom of Bahrain. 🛰 As a core implementer of the Global Methane Pledge — which Bahrain has joined — IMEO exists to provide open, reliable, and actionable data to help governments and companies reduce emissions. We look forward to continued engagement with the Kingdom of Bahrain and stand ready to support efforts to bridge the gap between methane data and on-the-ground climate action.
