国内英语资讯:Spotlight: Arab countries, China join hands to boost cooperation in renewable energy

Moroccan officials say Noor solar complex will be the largest multi-technological solar production site in the world with a capacity of 580 megawatts, considering it a major step in the country's plan to generate 42 percent of its electricity consumption from renewable energy by 2020 and 52 percent by 2030.

Meanwhile in the UAE, China's Harbin Electric International works with Saudi Arabia's ACWA Power on a joint venture to build the Hassyan clean coal plant in Dubai that comprises four units to generate 600 megawatts each after completion, using ultra-supercritical technology.

FUTURE EXPECTATIONS

Although the current energy source of Arab countries is still dominated by oil and gas, which are relatively cheaper, the Arab countries are undergoing transformation to sustainable and renewable energy.

China, the second largest trade partner with the Arab world, has advanced technologies and expertise to help energy transformation in the Arab region through win-win partnership.

"China has accelerated energy restructure and built a clean, low-carbon, safe and efficient energy system, while Arab countries actively seek energy transformation and changing the situation of relying on fossil energy," said Liu.

He stressed that China and Arab states share a common vision on energy development that will take their cooperation in the field to a new height.

"In order to promote cooperation in the field of clean energy, the NEA of China and the Arab League (AL) decided to establish a China-Arab clean energy training center," said the Chinese official.
