The Future of Renewable and Low Carbon Energy in the Middle East and North Africa

Low carbon energy sources are gaining ground globally, accelerated by stagnant oil demand growth and other favorable economic conditions that will facilitate a shift away from today’s fossil fuel-based energy system. The authors of the new release Low Carbon Energy in the Middle East and North Africa explore energy geopolitics, the evolving roles of energy stakeholders, and the dizzying array of existing and planned solar, wind, hydropower, nuclear, and waste-to-energy projects in the region.

Will the countries of the Middle East and North Africa play a leading role in the transition to renewable and low carbon energy? To what extent are economics and environmental pressures determining the speed and scope of this transition? How will the transition to alternative energy sources change the energy system dynamics of a region that has long been known for hydrocarbon dependence? And what are the societal and geopolitical effects of this transition?
