Qatar Investment solar development

The 2012 United Nations climate conference in Doha held as scheduled, organized the election in the Middle East "drums" Qatar. Demonstrate determination to address climate change, oil large, but said, spend 10000000000-20000000000 U.S. dollars in 2014, building an installed capacity of 1,800 megawatts of solar power stations.

Qatar has a rich fossil fuels, the the latest BP data show that Qatar's oil output in 2011 was 365 million tons, compared to 2010, remained steady growth. But the country has spared no expense to bet on solar, chairman of the organizing committee of the Doha Climate Conference Fahd Ben Mohamed Al-Attiyah has revealed the reason: "We want to achieve the diversification of the energy structure through the development of solar and other renewable energy sources to achieve 2030 20% of electricity from renewable energy goals. "

It is reported that, in recent years, Qatar annual growth rate of more than 10% of electricity consumption, future growth slowed down to 5% to 6%, but in any case the growing electricity demand forcing Qatar constant pursuit of the electricity supply structure diversification.

Qatar occupy a bit of the world's largest LNG exporter, but worries that global demand for OPEC's oil and gas demand reduction. This right to be worried, as global warming intensifies, countries around the world more and more attention to the development of renewable energy. The data show that the the Doha climate conference announced Qatar is the highest in the world per capita greenhouse gas emissions, which also sounded the alarm once again for its Qatar development of renewable energy is imperative.

Recently, the Government of Qatar began to appeal to the relevant enterprises are encouraged to tender the construction of the solar cell power station expected the power station was completed in 2018,. It has been revealed, some technical problems may slow down the progress of the development of the power station. The project covers an area of ​​vast, the Border blowing dust will greatly reduce the efficiency of solar power.

Qatar aspects of this issue agree. It is reported that the PV power plant once operational, renewable energy in Qatar generation energy in proportion to 16% from the current zero. By 2014, Qatar photovoltaic generating capacity will reach 1.8 GW. By 2018, Qatar 16% of the domestic electricity supply will come from solar desalination plants by natural gas power generation will rely mainly on solar energy.

So far, Qatar has not yet developed the explicit goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, but Attiyah said the photovoltaic power plant will significantly reduce carbon emissions. As for he did not disclose specific figures.

Attiyah also stressed: "For us, the development of solar energy is wise, it will help desalination Qatar government will introduce a feed-in tariff policy to encourage people to install solar panel power generation facilities and power generation in the roof."

According to Qatar News Agency reported on Dec. 4 on the Climate Conference in Doha, Qatar said, the Qatar power company with kahramaa water companies will jointly develop a 200-megawatt solar power generation project.

Qatar the photovoltaic development of better and better as the host country for the 2022 World Cup, Qatar in 2013, built the main stadium will also use photovoltaic panels, solar collectors and photovoltaic building integration technology to solve the the museum supply and cooling problem . Once the stadium is built is bound Qatar photovoltaic development breakthroughs.
