Saudi Arabia has ambitious green energy goals, aiming to go carbon neutral by 2060. But what does that mean for their fossil-fuel production? Well, the Kingdom is aiming to have its cake and eat it too.

Disclaimer: After our deadline in April 2024, reports emerged that Saudi officials had greatly reduced the proposed size of The Line for budgetary reasons. At the time of publishing, those reports have not been officially confirmed.
We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world - and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.

You've said it all: It's an extremely wasteful nation with a huge energy demand to sustain life. Desalination not only requires enourmous amounts of energy, it also produces tons of salt that cause ecological harm when just discharged into the sea (as the Saudi's are doing). Additionally, producing your own energy in a "clean" way, while still increasing oil exports, is just a fascade.
@op4000exe
@op4000exe 15 днів тому
To be fair though, there are ways to desalinate without dumping vast quantities of salt back into the ocean. The brine could be used to make sea salt (and it would be more useful for it anyway, as it's already concentrated), as well as mineral extraction. In the places wherein desalination is used, this has not been a priority so far, but there's nothing impossible or unfeasible about it. Not that I tihnk that Saudi Arabia would care about doing it in a less destructive way, it nonetheless can be done.

@@ian4683 Honestly I don't think the solutions are complicated, nor do I think that's the issue. I find it significantly more likely that they just won't care though. As it's probably not worth it (in their minds). Sea salt is already made by evaporating sea water in pools, if the water just had higher salinity to begin with, it would just need less evaporation.

About Carbon Capture - German Tried in in Spremberg, that is the result (source:wikipedia article Schwarze_Pumpe_power_station) : On 26 May 2006, construction started on an oxy-fuel combustion process carbon capture and storage pilot plant in the Black Pump industrial area. With a thermal power of 30 MW, the plant burned coal with pure oxygen (nitrogen-free) gas, replacing air in what is known as oxy-fuel combustion. The idea was that the resulting carbon dioxide would be compressed and liquefied. It would then be put into geologic formations and stored so as not to contribute to global warming. The aim of the plant wasn't to produce electricity but to produce steam, which would then be used by nearby industries. Vattenfall stopped carbon capture research and development at the plant in 2014 because they found that "its costs and the energy it requires make the technology unviable."[2]

@abeeceedee599
@abeeceedee599 14 днів тому
​@@adamsaciid4919 Indeed, the situation in China exemplifies the risks being discussed. In recent years, investor confidence in China has waned due to several factors. The stringent espionage laws, with their broad and ambiguous definition of 'espionage,' have made foreign companies apprehensive about the potential for activities to be misinterpreted as espionage. This is particularly concerning given the restriction on data leaving China, affecting many foreign firms that depend on data access. The case of Jack Ma and the Ant Group further illustrates these risks. Criticism from Jack Ma towards the Chinese government led to heightened tensions and the eventual halting of the Ant Group's IPO. Subsequent changes in the company's governance structure significantly reduced Jack Ma's control from over 50% to just over 6%. Additionally, the widespread crackdown on Chinese tech giants has resulted in decreased market values, revenues, and profits for these companies. Regarding Vietnam, while I lack detailed knowledge about Vietnam, the absence of a democracy based on the rule of law suggests potential parallels in investment risk. The ability to recall prominent companies from a country reflects its economic visibility and investor confidence. While many can name numerous large American companies, the same cannot be said for countries like Russia, Pakistan, Qatar, and Hungary, indicating a disparity in global economic prominence and perceived investment security.

Back in high school, i remember us worrying about the depletion of fossil fuel since it's a non renewable energy, and we need it for virtually everything. Now that the world shifts greatly toward renewable energy, the tone changed, we care less about it running out, we care more about its impacts on the environment. This is a huge progression happening Infront of our eyes, and I'm optimistic about the future.

I don’t like the analogy ‘Arabian leopard has not changed its spots’, if the Saudis don’t capitalise and raise revenue from their oil reserves, is anyone willing to boost foreign investment into their economy? I think it’s good they are transitioning to renewables, even if it’s an economics based decision. I would hope where there is room to straddle the border between renewables and oil, they would lean towards renewables. I recall one of the Saudi ministers pledging to improve working conditions for foreign labour, which is a good sign.

Achieving a carbon-free world and addressing the dangers of climate change require individuals who truly believe in and comprehend these concepts. With respect to Saudi Arabia (KSA), many residents there may not fully grasp these terms and issues due to their different cultural context and limited exposure to modern societal values. The culture in KSA prioritizes materialism, with a preference for large cars, noisy lifestyles, and excessive spending, rather than investing in knowledge production. Even their efforts to "green" KSA, such as cloud seeding and cloud theft, may inadvertently worsen global climate conditions. Unfortunately, in countries like KSA, where speaking freely can lead to fates like Jamal Khashoggi's, meaningful change seems unlikely.

In many cases, workers do not receive their rightful pay after completing their work for a Saudi employer. A 'Kafeel' or sponsor may take your money and ensure the renewal of your Iqama (residence permit), but later, he will abscond with your hard-earned wages without any repercussions. This exploitation is often supported by Saudi laws. I'm one out of many, who is looted by the Saudi sponsor.

They will want to quit oil - for themselves. They presently use 25% of their own oil consumption to power desalination plants, and this will only go up. That means a huge amount of their oil production is wasted and cannot be monetised. As such, they want to move away from oil internally (they have plenty of options for renewable energy) so they can export more of it into other countries (they even have roadmaps about how to increase consumption by developing countries). NEOM or The Line, two hugely idiotic and impossible projects, would be part of a different facet of their strategy (if made in a feasible way). They aim to diversify their economy, pure and simple. So, to simlify: RSA want to go away from oil, but only for their own consumption. Oil still is a major part of their future. And net zero by 2060? Who is he kidding? Expect that target to keep on moving over the coming decades.

LOL. In your fossil fueled fantasies perhaps. US, EU, Canada and others have set 2035 for a net zero grid and have bans on sales of new ICE vehicles. 2050 for completely net zero. By then, renewables will be so incredibly widespread and cheap. Less than 1% of the world's land surface in current generation solar panels can power all the world's grids. There is enough offshore wind to power the world several times over. Other than the existential crisis that fossil fuels represent, all countries see energy independence as a matter of national security. Relying on a few oil producing countries for essential energy is neither responsible nor safe. Nobody likes to be under the heel of organizations like OPEC or continue to sponsor cruel oil dictators like Putin that regularly uses oil as an economic weapon.

​@@felicious6384Norwegians, like Saudis, export millions of barrels of oil and Cubic feet of liquified gas worldwide. They will continue to do so while making their own economies less dependable on fossil fuels. Of course, there is a difference. Norway Is way ahead of Saudi Arabia in the reduction of internal consumption of fossil fuels due to their vast Hydroelectric and geothermal resources; however, I think they are about the same in that regard: export fossil for others to consume and support their economies while they reduce their reliance on it.

Salt has numerous uses beyond human consumption: 1. **Preservation**: Salt is used to preserve food by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, yeasts, and molds. It's commonly used in curing meats, fish, and vegetables. 2. **De-icing**: Salt is spread on roads and sidewalks to melt ice and snow during winter, making travel safer. 3. **Chemical Industry**: Salt is a key component in the production of various chemicals such as chlorine, sodium hydroxide, and hydrogen chloride. 4. **Water Treatment**: It's used in water softening systems to remove hardness-causing minerals from water. 5. **Food Processing**: Salt is used in food processing for various purposes, including enhancing flavor, texture, and shelf life. 6. **Industrial Cleaning**: It's used in various industrial cleaning processes due to its abrasive properties. 7. **Dyeing**: Salt is used in dyeing processes to help set the color in fabrics. 8. **Agriculture**: Salt is used in agriculture as a fertilizer and soil amendment to provide essential nutrients to crops and improve soil structure. 9. **Animal Husbandry**: It's used as a supplement for livestock to provide essential minerals like sodium and chloride. 10. **Manufacturing**: Salt is used in the manufacturing of glass, soap, and ceramics, among other products.
