GCC-Climate Change Impact

Oxford Economics’ research shows that the economic impact of global warming rises for countries that are already among the hottest in the world. The GCC belongs to this group.


For the three most active GCC states in this area, the Uae,qatar,saudi, the study presents a comprehensive, sector-based assessment of existing measures aimed at or with benefits for emission reductions and climate resilience.

Gcc is about 1800 kilowatt/h per every square meter and this makes the adoption of solar energy in the region technically and economically feasible. Statistics show that both the Middle East and the North of Africa are equipped to deal with this technology.



significantly expanded mitigation effort, the world is on course to warm by about 2°C above preindustrial levels by 2050.



Global warming of this magnitude is likely to have major economic consequences that could have pronounced economic impacts by 2050 and beyond. And the MENA region, which already suffers from climate-related issues like water scarcity.

Gcc is not only granted an enormous supply of oil and natural gas but also a perfect geopolitical positioning wherein it receives maximum exposure to sunlight and in many areas wind, which would provide endless renewable energy.

couple of days of rain can flood parts of cities in GCC, and bring life to a standstill, the prospect of large scale climate change is a sobering thought, and a thought that needs to be translated into action.



UAE Energy Strategy targeting 50 per cent in clean energy by 2050 (with 44 per cent renewables, 38 per cent gas, 12 per cent clean coal and 6 per cent nuclear), while Saudi Arabia is looking to generate over 27GW of clean power by 2023 and over 58GW by 2030

Oil Storage Terminals: The Strategic Backbone of Global Energy Trade

 Oil storage terminals are critical infrastructure within the global energy ecosystem, serving as the foundation for oil logistics, strategic trade, and energy security. These facilities go far beyond functioning as mere warehouses for crude oil or refined products—they are sophisticated, multifunctional hubs that support international trade flows, offer stability during periods of market volatility, and empower nations and businesses with strategic flexibility in energy management, processing, and distribution. The strategic importance of these terminals lies in their ability to balance supply and demand, particularly during geopolitical disruptions, natural calamities, or seasonal consumption shifts. Countries with robust terminal infrastructure can stockpile reserves, safeguarding against global oil shocks and reducing their vulnerability to supply chain interruptions. Moreover, terminals provide vital commercial opportunities—traders and refiners can buy oil at lower prices, st...

UAE Strengthens Position as Regional Powerhouse in Base Oil Trade and Blending, Bridging Global Supply with Middle East and Africa

 The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has firmly established itself as a central hub in the Middle east’s base oil industry, serving as a strategic link in the global supply chain. Leveraging its geographic advantage and world-class infrastructure—particularly through ports like Jebel Ali and Fujairah—the UAE plays a vital role in facilitating both regional distribution and international trade. The country maintains an active position in the market, with strong import volumes from global suppliers including the United States, India, Thailand, and Iran. Despite occasional geopolitical constraints, the UAE continues to diversify its sourcing strategies, with increasing spot imports from Asian refineries enhancing flexibility and resilience in supply chains. Beyond imports, the UAE has cultivated a robust re-export and toll blending ecosystem. It serves as a reliable redistribution point for base oils into neighboring markets such as Oman, Saudi Arabia, East Africa, and parts of North and C...
