Most importantly and above Sustainability is Ethics FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 51 FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 52 Sustainable Energy in Kuwait FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 53 A Successful and Active Sustainable achievement in Kuwait Source: Dr. Ayman Al-Qattan Dr. Bashar Abdulrahman FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 54 Kuwait Goals for a More Sustainable future •Less dependence on fossil fuel in electricity generation •Goal to be achieved is in reaching 15% of renewable utilization in energy consumption for power by 2030 •And hopefully at a higher percentage in thereafter FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 55 FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 56 The Three Phases of Shagaya Renewable Energy Park FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 57 Currently only Phase-1 is achieved FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 58 Consists of: PV Plant CSP Plant Wind farm FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 59 PV Plant Project FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 60 PV Plant - Performance FARAH M.

AL-DUWEESH 74 What should Kuwait do to encourage recycle/ reuse? FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 75 The Government of Kuwait needs to take recycle in to their hands 1. Adding recycle bins for every households 2. Gives a partial fee for buying any plastic product (plastic bags, bottles etc..) 3. Give a money reward for large recycle batches by individuals to encourage recycle FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 76 FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 77 FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 78 Projections are finally IMPLEMNETED in Kuwait FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 79 Another recycle way is made by assessing products FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 80 Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): how to reduce/ reuse our energy cycle. Ex: Making a car goes through steps FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 81 Is all the above waste of saving energy? FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 82 Energy can be saved without minimizing emissions, rather eliminating it in the first place à Our Role as Engineers Modern Thinking CO2 sequestration Thru: Pre-combustion: FARAH M. AL-DUWEESH 83 Energy can be saved without minimizing emissions, rather eliminating it in the first place à Our Role as Chemical Engineers Post-combustion FARAH M.

AL-DUWEESH 86 Transportation is the highest source of emissions in Kuwait mainly CO2 Making Cars that produce their own hydrogen fuel and use it to motorize the car. At less oxygen intake.
