Al Nuaimi: vision 2031 charts UAE's sustainable future
Vision 2031: a living framework of national ambition Dr Al Nuaimi emphasised that UAE Vision 2031 is no longer a mere aspiration but a living framework fuelled by national determination across all state institutions. He described it as a national pathway built on innovation, diversity, sustainability, and institutional integration. Redefining prosperity through economic diversification The first pillar of the vision, Al Nuaimi explained, focuses on redefining prosperity by transitioning from hydrocarbon dependence to a knowledge economy. This includes green tech, AI, and advanced industries, targeting a GDP of AED 3 trillion and AED 800 billion in non-oil exports by 2031. He underscored the importance of investing in innovation hubs and activating cross-sector partnerships for a post-oil economy. Sustainable urban development as a strategic pillar In the second pillar, Al Nuaimi addressed sustainable urban development through smart, resilient cities that rely on clean energy, mobility innovations, and environmental harmony—aligned with the 2050 Net Zero strategy. He also highlighted the need to incorporate ESG and digital readiness standards in real estate, infrastructure, and logistics. Empowering human capital The third pillar centred on empowering human capital. Al Nuaimi described skilled talent as the nation's true wealth. He stressed lifelong learning and global openness to ensure the UAE ranks among the top 10 globally in human development and digital talent retention. He called for comprehensive upskilling, national talent support, and future leadership development. Fostering innovation and global competitiveness The fourth pillar focused on innovation and global competitiveness. Al Nuaimi noted the UAE's rapid strides towards becoming a global platform for regulatory and technological innovation, particularly in AI and biotechnology. He advocated for stronger partnerships between universities and the public-private sectors to co-create intellectual capital that drives regional knowledge transformation. Environmental sustainability and food security The fifth pillar concerned environmental sustainability and food security. Al Nuaimi stated that the UAE views sustainability as a competitive advantage, not a developmental burden. He reaffirmed national goals to rank among the top 10 globally in food security, water efficiency, and climate adaptation. He urged the adoption of circular economy models, climate-smart agriculture, and resource reuse. Closing remarks: a unified national endeavour Concluding his speech, Dr Al Nuaimi described Vision 2031 as a comprehensive national project that requires collective institutional and individual effort. He said the bridge to this future begins today—with investment in people, unified vision, and a resilient, sustainable, and innovative economy worthy of the UAE's regional and global standing.

Kuwait's KOC eyes green economy with net-zero goal by 2050
KUWAIT CITY - Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) is conducting a comprehensive study on the green economy as part of its efforts to transition to clean energy and support the national goal of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Sources told the newspaper that the study focuses on three key areas: the production of green hydrogen using renewable energy, the expansion of carbon capture centers, and the underground storage of carbon dioxide. Sources said this is one of several practical measures that KOC is pursuing to align its operations with global sustainability targets. In a related development, the Board of Directors of the Central Agency for Public Tenders (CAPT) has approved the request of KOC to cancel three tenders related to the supply of electrical power for industrial lift pumps and remote vertical manifolds in the southern and eastern parts of the country. The cancelled tenders were originally intended for the construction of power stations in zones 6, 10 and 12 (first tender); zones 8 and 13 (second tender); and zones 7, 9, and 11 (third tender). The cancellations were made under Article 55, Clause Seven of Public Tenders Law No. 49/2016. Sources indicated that this decision reflects the broader policy of Kuwait Petroleum Corporation (KPC) to rationalize expenditure and reduce operating costs, particularly given that many of the lift pumps currently rely on diesel-powered engines. 'The move also aligns with environmental goals to reduce carbon emissions across the oil sector,' sources added. Despite the cancellation of these tenders, KOC continues to modernize operations and improve production efficiency through the adoption of advanced global technologies. The company is also intensifying its development drilling program and accelerating the rehabilitation of idle oil wells. Notably, the percentage of idle wells was reduced from 14 percent to five percent over the past year, with approximately 2,107 wells repaired in 2024. This added an estimated 10,000 new wells and current oil production is averaging around 1,000 barrels per day. KOC officials have confirmed ongoing efforts to expand renewable energy integration into its operations. Hani Al-Saqabi, a renewable energy specialist at KOC, informed the newspaper that the company has long embraced scientific methods to boost production and reduce energy costs. He highlighted KOC's early adoption of renewable energy initiatives, including the launch of the Sidra 500 solar project in 2017—one of the region's pioneering ventures in clean energy. Ali Al-Harz, Chief Engineer of Technology Management at KOC, added that the company is actively pursuing multiple initiatives focused on solar and wind energy. He emphasized KOC's commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, stressing that the company is studying several pathways to ensure the amount of carbon emitted is offset by the amount captured or stored through clean energy technologies. 'These efforts position KOC at the forefront of the energy transition efforts of the country, as it seeks to balance traditional oil production with sustainability and environmental responsibility,' he added.
