Green Hydrogen Beyond The Hype: Water, Grids, Infrastructure and Regulation in MENA

By | | , ,
Leave a comment

Green hydrogen has moved rapidly from a niche technological concept to a central element of many energy-transition strategies. It is particularly relevant to MENA countries because several of them combine strong solar and wind resources with existing energy infrastructure and proximity to major European markets. At the same time, the sector is entering a more realistic phase. The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that the global pipeline of announced low-emissions hydrogen production projects for 2030 has fallen to about 27 Mt, while uncertain demand, complex regulation, financing and infrastructure remain important barriers [1]. Installed electrolysis capacity nevertheless more than doubled … Continue reading →

Sustainable Concrete Waste Management in Infrastructure Projects – A Case Study

By | | , ,
Leave a comment

Saudi Arabia is experiencing extensive infrastructure and urban development under Vision 2030. Construction activities associated with foundations, structures, culverts, roads, utilities and other infrastructure works can produce significant quantities of concrete waste. Uncontrolled accumulation of concrete debris can affect housekeeping, access, dust control, soil quality, site safety and the efficient use of disposal capacity. Effective concrete waste management should therefore focus not only on removing waste from the work area, but also on preventing unnecessary generation, improving material utilization, segregating concrete at source, identifying recovery opportunities and maintaining reliable records from generation through final destination. Case Study: Concrete Waste Generation … Continue reading →

Small wind turbines can generate useful renewable electricity at homes, farms, remote facilities, and other sites where local wind conditions make wind power practical, but choosing one is not simply a matter of picking the highest rated power on the specifications sheet. The turbine has to match the wind actually available at the site, the amount and type of electricity the site needs, and the physical conditions it will operate in day to day. Several factors deserve particular attention: the site’s wind resource, the actual energy requirement, turbine design, the generator and controller behind it, and the installation environment.
