Masdar's role in promoting Clean Energy highlighted at EU-GCC Clean Energy Network Meeting
Abu Dhabi, May 23, 2011 (WAM) - Masdar Institute of Science and Technology delegates and experts from Masdar shared views on concrete cooperation activities on clean energy with the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) during a meeting in Abu Dhabi as well as at the EU-GCC Clean Energy Network second discussions group meeting at Brussels.
According to Masdar Institute the meetings held on May 8 in Abu Dhabi and from May 11-12 in Brussels, brought together delegates from both regions. The discussions indicated promise for the creation of stronger ties between EU organisations and researchers and their GCC counterparts.
The Brussels meeting highlighted the results and outcomes achieved by the network so far. Members discussed solid steps to achieve results in the fields of renewable energy sources, energy demand side management and energy efficiency, clean natural gas and related technologies, electricity interconnections and market integration. Several distinguished energy experts exchanged information on mobilising and leveraging the potential of EU-GCC clean energy cooperation.
The EU-GCC Clean Energy Network was set up to advance the common interest between the EU and the GCC for strategic energy cooperation. As the lead research representative for the Network, Masdar Institute works together with the EU consortium to create, operate, promote and disseminate information and proposals and sustainable strategies of the Clean Energy Network.
Masdar Institute was selected as the regional representative for EU-GCC Clean Energy Network earlier this year based on presentations by Gulf research institutions to the energy team on the GCC.
Masdar Institute's partners in the GCC include Sultan Quboos University (Oman): Renewable '&' Sustainable Energies Research Group, Arabian Gulf University (Bahrain), Kuwait Institute for Scientific Research: Renewable Energy Program, Qatar Foundation: Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute and King Abdulaziz city for Science and Technology (Saudi Arabia).
During the meeting in Abu Dhabi, Masdar Institute members discussed in detail the successful collaboration between GCC countries and the willingness and mechanisms for dialogue between the various representatives of the GCC for the Energy Network. - Emirates News Agency, WAM
