Derasat and IAEE discuss regional impact of energy transition

The Bahrain Center for Strategic, International and Energy Studies (DERASAT), the International Association for Energy Economies (IAEE) with its Saudi counterpart the (SAEE), and the King Abdulla Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSARC) held a virtual press to discuss progress towards convening the second IAEE MENA Symposium and the fifth Annual Derasat Forum on March 2-3 in Bahrain. This year’s theme is “The Impact of Energy Transition in the MENA Region”. The event aims to measure the aspiring economic and developmental goals and achievements in the MENA countries, especially the Arabian Gulf States, towards their ambitious environmental goals and efforts to curb pollution and climate change while preparing to withstand and benefit from the global shift to a green energy mix that focuses on renewables and alternatives. Research organizations are a cornerstone in these comparisons, as they provide guidance through scientific observations of these energy developments, while accounting for geopolitical and geo-economic factors that affect the course of events. Following a Q4 2021 call for papers, a remarkable response from over 30 contributors was received, including prominent scholars, researchers, field experts, and market analysts; the result of a rigorous assessment process. These presentations will either suggest solutions or collaboration initiatives
