據鉆井地帶網站2023年7月4日報道，作為到2050年前實現凈零排放努力的一部分，阿拉伯聯合酋長國計劃在未來7年里向可再生能源投資540億美元。

阿聯酋總理兼迪拜酋長Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid在推特上表示，阿聯酋的目標是在此期間將產自可再生資源的能源份額增加兩倍，并將重點關注氫氣作為清潔能源的來源。

在這個計劃出臺之際，阿聯酋將在今年晚些時候主辦COP28氣候峰會。與許多石油生產國一樣，目前阿聯酋的化石燃料在經濟中的重要性超過了推動更清潔能源系統的努力。盡管如此，阿聯酋是第一個宣布到本世紀中葉前實現凈零排放目標的中東國家。

作為周一公布舉措的一部分，Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid任命Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi為阿聯酋投資部部長。Alsuwaidi目前是阿布扎比主權財富基金ADQ的首席執行官和可再生能源公司馬斯達爾的副董事長。

阿聯酋政府還批準了一項決定，成立一個金融穩定委員會，以監測風險，幫助應對潛在的金融危機，并制定預防措施，以保護國家的經濟和金融體系。

UAE Plans to Invest $54B in Renewables in Net Zero Push

The United Arab Emirates plans to invest as much as $54 billion on renewables over the next seven years as part of efforts to reach net zero emissions by 2050. 

The nation is targeting a threefold increase in the share of energy produced from renewable sources over the period and will focus on hydrogen as a source for clean power, UAE Prime Minister and Dubai Ruler Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid said in a tweet.

The plans come as the UAE is set to host the COP28 climate summit later this year. Like many oil-producing nations, the push toward a cleaner energy system is currently outweighed by the importance of fossil fuels in the economy. Still, the UAE was the first Middle Eastern state to announce a goal to reach net zero by the middle of the century.

As part of the moves unveiled on Monday, Sheikh Mohammed appointed Mohamed Hassan Alsuwaidi as investment minister. Alsuwaidi is currently the chief executive officer at Abu Dhabi wealth fund ADQ and deputy chairman of renewables company Masdar. 

The government also approved a decision to establish a council for financial stability to monitor risk, help deal with potential financial crises and draw precautionary measures to protect the country’s economic and financial system.
