Since it had succeeded, the United Arab Emirates to host the "International Agency for Renewable Energy" (Irina) in 2009, and spares no effort in providing the necessary resources all before it, to turn in the dissemination of renewable energy solutions, as the energy of the future, which are indispensable for the countries of the world whole, especially the developing countries that face increasing challenges in the energy influence in her development.
In this context, the meeting of the "Irina" recently, and was devoted to discuss the development strategies of the African continent, and to pave their economies to address the constraints that hinder the deployment of renewable energy solutions. The continent of Africa a high priority in the Plan of Action, "Irina," not because they are losing billions of dollars annually due to lack of renewable energy projects, but because it has a lot of capacity large that allows it to meet its energy needs by relying on its abundant resources of renewable energy sources as well, as has solar energy that can ensure the supply of electricity without the need for costly investments to develop infrastructure and distribution networks, which are also available geothermal energy resources to ensure a good supply of electricity.
The attention paid "Irina" for the deployment of renewable energy solutions in the countries of the African continent, and help them develop their strategy in this regard, in line with the overall thrust of the UAE and its leadership to help developing countries acquire the capacity to enter the era of renewable and clean energy, through the "Fund Abu Dhabi Development ", which allocates $ 350 million to help accelerate the deployment of clean energy solutions and technologies in these countries.
The leadership role played by the UAE in the deployment of renewable energy solutions in the countries of the world,
originally based on elements of several major, first, that the UAE adopts a comprehensive and integrated approach for the construction sector, renewable energy and clean knowledge-based, through several initiatives initiative "Masdar City "which will be the first city in the world free of carbon emissions and waste, and establishing the largest wind power plant in the Middle East on the island of" Sir Bani Yas, "and interested in solar energy. At the same time, investment in renewable energy and clean to be high among the areas of investment in the national economy. Second, the considerable support of the UAE's "International Agency for Renewable Energy" (Irina), and provide capabilities and capacities of human and material and technical resources required for success, and to support its strategy, objectives and future plans to become an international center in the field of renewable energy and associated research.
This is no doubt that it would give the Organization the effectiveness of the concrete in the development of renewable energy in an advanced position on the map sources of energy in the world. Third, the capacity of the UAE regulatory big in hosting major events on the discussion of the issues of renewable energy, and uses widely, and most prominent of these events, "World Summit on the energy future," hosted by the UAE since its inception in 2008, and discussed through many of the pressing issues in the field of energy such as climate change, and the use of alternative energy sources, and others, and this is undoubtedly of great importance is to provide an opportunity for communication between individuals and institutions working in the field of renewable energy, and promote international partnerships in this vital area.
For all this, the UAE has become a regional hub and an important international in the field of renewable energy.

Bulletin "News time" published by the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research
Launched Masayoshi Son, president of Softbank Corp., telecommunications giant, and the rulers of the provinces of Japan, a committee to promote the use of renewable energy in the wake of the worst nuclear accident witnessed by Japan. Joined 36 out of 47 prefectures of Japan's initiative, which Sun designed to reduce Japan's dependence on nuclear power. The Sun suggested the move after the Fukushima nuclear plant damaged in the aftermath of earthquake and tsunami (tsunami) on 11 March.
The leak from the station, which lies 250 km northeast of Tokyo, radioactive materials since then. The Sun had announced last May for a project worth 80 billion yen to about one billion dollars, ten stations to establish a large solar energy in the country, and view with most of the construction costs. Sun said that if Japan was able to build solar panels on 20% of agricultural land is used or abandoned, the country can produce about 50 gigawatts of electricity, equivalent to produce 50 nuclear reactors. Sun also said he hoped to raise the share of renewable energy such as solar and wind power and ground heat for about 20% of electricity production in the country by the year 2020.
He called on Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan, for a drastic review of energy policy in the country and reduce dependence on nuclear power. At a meeting of provincial governors last government has been criticized for its decisions on the last nuclear power plants. The Japanese government announced last week that it will take action to assess the safety and that they will be stress testing in nuclear power plants. However, this announcement hit the country's confused, especially in provinces where there are nuclear power plants, where he was Minister of Industry Banera Kaida announced in mid-June that all plants are safe.
The Prime Minister said in a parliamentary session, the day before yesterday, Tuesday, the government has no choice but to cancel the plan to enhance the contribution of nuclear power plants to generate electricity in the country to 53% by 2030, compared to less than 30% currently. The Union power companies in Japan, the rate of nuclear power plants in the country fell during June to 36.8%, compared to 66.1% last year.
It is expected that the operating rate declined more than that, after the stress tests on nuclear reactors, where the government said it could close some reactors based on test results.
"News time":
UAE the world's most attention the renewable energy sector
Abu Dhabi (WAM)
(MEES) confirmed "news time" that the UAE is one of the countries most interested in the renewable energy sector in the world, noting that the State has carried out many projects and initiatives in this regard, it expanded to rely on solar energy as an energy source and implemented a number of projects for the production of biofuels and the development of communities urban sustainable source in the capital city of Abu Dhabi and the project "Sustainable City" to be implemented in Dubai.
According to the bulletin issued by the Emirates Center for Strategic Studies and Research, that the State intends to direct more attention to this promising sector in the coming years, and it seems clear from the "investment map" launched by the Ministry of Economy has recently aimed to stimulate new investment to take advantage of opportunities for future investment in this sector.
Under the title "UAE and renewable energy," said the investment in "renewable energy" is a means of transportation used by the global economy to move from present to future. She explained that the sources of "renewable energy" has a number of features not available to traditional sources of energy upon which the global economy almost entirely in the present, and if the world was able to employ these features will be fully able to overcome the major challenges that stand in the way of the future.
The bulletin pointed out that the sources of "renewable energy" are the sources are not subject to depletion at all which makes it like a panacea for the problems are all related to the security of global energy, which is threatened by problems of instability under the adoption of the current traditional energy sources that no matter how long for which they must be doomed to depletion in the end. She added that in addition to that with renewable energy sources as sources of clean and produce no environmental contaminants, which gives it an absolute advantage as a panacea for the problems of environmental pollution and climate change suffered by the world at the present time by the adoption of the almost complete on the traditional energy especially coal and oil. Showed that this means that investment in "renewable energy" is like investing indirectly in the energy security and building a way to move to a more cleaner, in other words, is an investment in building sustainable development.
And felt that this fact is what has made the world compete with each other in spending on projects "Renewable Energy", which shows its features in the rapid growth witnessed by this spending from year to year, where the world spends now on these projects, about $ 211 billion per year estimated more than five times what was spent for the same purpose for about five years, according to the United Nations Environment Programme, to complete the same approach, it is expected that this sector receives investments estimated at 1.5 trillion dollars over the remaining years from now to 2020.
And confirmed the "breaking news" at the conclusion of an editorial that the goal of understanding "sustainable development" ranks high among the objectives that seek "investment map" UAE to recognition, and it seems clear from the investment opportunities contained in this plan within the sector "renewable energy" which is aimed at attract an estimated $ 100 billion of new investment to this sector of which approximately half of the solar energy projects and waste recycling and about a third in the draft Sustainable Cities and the remainder goes to improve the efficiency of energy use and recycling of water.
They expected that the state can make the investments in important strides toward transforming its national economy to a clean and sustainable.
