The 18th World Future Energy Summit, which runs until January 15 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi, catalysed an assortment of deals, announcements and potential partnerships on its second day, demonstrating once again that one of world’s most influential clean energy and sustainability gatherings produces real-world, game-changing impact on the global clean energy ecosystem.
Taking place as part of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week and hosted by Masdar, the Summit – the largest and most ambitious on record – is convening global leaders and international attendees from 150-plus countries at a pivotal moment for energy transition.
Dr Hamed Hanifi, Director of Technology and Innovation at AE Solar, said agrivoltaics is emerging globally as one of the most promising solutions to address resource pressures and meet sustainability objectives.
“As land becomes more limited and both land and food prices rise, the dual use of land becomes increasingly important,” said Dr Hanifi. “Agrivoltaics allow communities to produce food while generating renewable energy on the same surface area, shifting the focus from the efficiency of one system to the combined efficiency of both.”
Day Two also saw a host of collaborative agreements signed on-site, among them Savvy Charging Technologies and Pioneer eMobility, who each signed an MOU to formalise a joint venture aimed at accelerating the adoption of on-demand, mobile EV charging solutions in the UAE and wider West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region.
Elsewhere on the show floor, the Universities of Leicester and Sharjah entered into a collaboration funded through the UK Department for Science, Innovation and Technology tactical fund. The partnership aims to tackle the imperative for international collaboration to solve the global challenge of reducing the energy footprint of large and complex buildings in all climates. The project will demonstrate the capabilities of a physics-informed self-learning AI-based solution in two very different climate scenarios.
