Gas-based power generation is poised to serve a critical role in helping to reduce emissions and complement the growth of renewable energy with highly efficient, flexible, affordable, and reliable baseload power, said an industry expert.

"As they look to grow and develop further, governments across the region are exploring opportunities to strengthen public infrastructure and trying to balance the growing need for reliable power against climate change concerns and sustainability goals. Consequently, Mena's energy landscape is undergoing a grand transformation,“ added Joseph Anis, President & CEO of GE Gas Power Middle East, North Africa and South Asia.

He was speaking at a recent webinar organized by GE Gas Power entitled 'Decarbonization: The Role of Gas in Our Energy Future'.

The following speakers addressed energy sector stakeholders: Abdurrahman Khalidi, Chief Technology Officer, GE Gas Power, Mena and South Asia; Guy Deleonardo, VP Customer Applications, GE Gas Power; and Amit Kulkarni, VP Product Management, GE Gas Power. The webinar covered three core themes: the evolving energy landscape, the role of gas in decarbonizing the power sector, and technological advancements that can support a lower-carbon future.
