Carbon Emissions

Carbon emission is creating a problem because the amount of carbon in the atmosphere has doubled in the last 30 years. Carbon emission is created by the people who are using fuel to produce electricity and power their cars or using energy.

There are many levels of carbon emission in the world,  especially in the Middle East and North Africa. It also depends on how developed oil-rich countries are because it is related to industrial output. There is an estimation that the Arabian Gulf countries are on top of the list globally.

The environment agency-Abu Dhabi has launched a project to analyze the Emirates’ emissions so the government can develop strategies to reduce the level of emissions and to build areas that absorb gases such as wetlands and mangroves.

Solar Energy Plant

Gamesolar energy plant  is funded by Abu Dhabi’s geen Masdar company  and Spain’s Sener a leading  engineering firm. The idea  behind the new Gamesolar plant  is to transfer the  heat energy from the sun using a series of  mirrors and very hot salt. This then turns to liquid and is pumped to steam turbines which then produce electricity. Each year  is targeted to produce  110 gigawatts and they are challenged to maximize its capacity. The building design is so new that it took three  years to complete and was very expensive. The plant needs to control the passage of the  mirrors by a separate control system  centered on a main tower .The term heliostat is used to describe the complete design of the units.
