Carbon emissions.

Carbon production has been increasing in the last generation in the Middle East. It considers being 10 times the world average. There are different percentages of carbon emissions in countries, depending on human energy use. Countries which use oil and gas in their industries will produce more carbon. Gulf countries have the biggest percentage of carbon release in the world and second in North Africa. The over use of oil and gas will put the environment in danger. Some countries are still not estimating how dangerous carbon emissions are because of their lack of efficiency. In the UAE they have started to solve this problem, they are trying to find a way to reduce carbon emissions with the help of different organizational contacts by estimate the emissions in UAE and building areas that absorbs these harm gasses. This will improve energy efficiency standards.

Produce electricity using solar energy

Genasolar is a revolutionary solar inspired plant funded by Abu Dhabi’s green Masdar initiative and Spain’s Sener engineering.  The company is trying to increase the output of sustainable power for thousands of homes. It produces electricity by using mirrors that use the heat energy from the sun to heat a new salt compound that is in turn transformed into liquid and is able to store the energy all day long. The salt can then power a steam turbine to produce electricity. The plant consists of a number of heliostats formed from large mirrors controlled from a plant to follow the sun’s journey across the sky and keep as much of the thermal energy. However, cables are needed to keep the tower stable in wind. This is a very recent technology.
