Al Jaber - COP28: "We need to go much further and much faster."

Sultan Al Jaber is also the country's special envoy for climate change, so he knows the fossil fuel industry as well as diplomacy. Add to this skill mix that the next leader of the climate negotiations is also the chairman of Masdar, the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company, which is the UAE's clean energy champion and one of largest companies of its kind in the world.

The rapidly changing energy landscape

The good news is that a critical mass of solutions required for the transition to renewables until 2030 now exists. The IRENA report states: "Electrification and efficiency, enabled by renewables, hydrogen, and sustainable biomass, are emerging as pillars of energy transitions. Investment in a comprehensive and systemic change – involving not just a mix of technologies but also the policy packages to put them in place and optimize structural, economic, and social impact – will be the key to the collective ability to realize development and climate objectives."

The cost of a new nuclear power station is around $168 per megawatt hour. Solar and wind cost about one-fifth as much.

In the past decade, green power production, excluding hydropower, grew 15% annually worldwide, but nuclear 0%.

Green surge is circuit breaker on nuclear revival

Nuclear power received what seem like two plum gifts for 2023. High energy prices and the desire to decarbonize have spurred renewed interest in the technology that provides about 10% of the world’s electricity supply. Yet a surging supply of green power is likely to limit any renaissance.
