Energy Transition - Case Study in Renewable Energy Electricity and Electromobility

摘要

Sustainable energy is available in different forms at countries throughout the world. Development of the available renewable energies from solar, wind, geothermal, hydro and tidal will improve the energy security at oil importing countries. It will also create jobs, and a continuous supply chain of supporting industries to design, finance, procure, manufacture, manage, construct, commission, educate, and maintenance of these new clean technologies. This paper will cover the status of development of sustainable energy from renewable energy sources in MENA region and will concentrate on the successful case study in Jordan. The development of the regulatory system started after the oil crisis in 2008 with the issuing of the renewable energy and energy efficiency law in 2012. The economic, environmental and social impacts from using renewable energy will be presented. And the learning lessons from adopting different strategies to achieve the targets of renewable energy in the energy mix will be discussed. These learning lessons can be implemented locally at similar oil importing countries to improve energy resilience, energy security, and contribute to global climate change adaptation efforts.
