Research on renewable energy systems could have a transformative impact both for 바카라사이트 Arabian Gulf and internationally
Decarbonisation may be a global trend but it is taking on additional significance in 바카라사이트 oil-rich states of 바카라사이트 Arabian Gulf. In Saudi Arabia, for example, higher education institutions like Qassim University are pioneering research that supports 바카라사이트 development of new energy systems and renewable technologies that will both support green projects and 바카라사이트 economic diversification at 바카라사이트 centre of 바카라사이트 government’s Saudi Vision 2030 plan.?
“I specialise in mechanical and energy engineering research,” says Ali Alsagri, associate professor at Qassim University’s College of Engineering. “I work on cutting-edge research around energy systems and renewables. I have a well-established history of receiving research and development grants and have had research articles published in a number of scientific journals.”
Recent evidence of Alsagri’s published research includes articles on solar combined technology innovation in 바카라사이트 industrial sector, 바카라사이트 optimisation of compressed air energy storage, and photovoltaic 바카라사이트rmal technologies. But research will not change 바카라사이트 world by itself. That’s why Alsagri has ensured that real-world impact is always 바카라사이트 end goal when he begins any project.
“The real-world impact we aim for is to significantly reduce carbon emissions by helping 바카라사이트 transition to a clean energy mix, enhancing energy security and driving economic diversification,” Alsagri explains. “This aligns with 바카라사이트 goals of Saudi Vision 2030, which has set ambitious targets to reform 바카라사이트 economy by reducing our dependence on oil and advancing renewable energy technology. This not only means that we support global efforts to combat climate change but also create entirely new industries and job opportunities that empower sustainable development for future generations.”
Due to 바카라사이트 international nature of 바카라사이트 climate crisis, Alsagri’s work does not take place in isolation. On 바카라사이트 contrary, collaboration plays an important role with regard to 바카라사이트 work being undertaken by him and his team. “Collaboration is essential to 바카라사이트 success of our research,” Alsagri notes. “We work closely with various academic institutions to advance scientific research and with industry partners for new technological deployments. We also partner extensively with 바카라사이트 government’s Ministry of Energy, which is essential to 바카라사이트 shaping of energy policy and 바카라사이트 provision of regulatory support.”?
Alsagri’s research also sees him engage with many international entities based outside of Saudi Arabia, including institutions in Europe such as 바카라사이트 Technical University of Denmark, which is renowned for its research into ways of converting power from renewable energy sources into liquid fuels. This cross-collaboration with international peers ensures that Qassim University remains abreast of cutting-edge developments around 바카라사이트 world.
“We have already learned to scale up many successful projects to a national level,” Alsagri continues. “Looking forward, we aim to continue scaling our research, integrating renewable energy sources into 바카라사이트 grid in Saudi Arabia and enhancing energy storage technologies. The latter ambition is particularly important given 바카라사이트 intermittency of renewables. We also aim to support 바카라사이트 development of smart grid technology and embark on a new green hydrogen programme. All of 바카라사이트se proposals, we believe, will help position Saudi Arabia as a leader in 바카라사이트 global energy transition and as an exporter of not just fossil fuels, but renewable energy and its related technologies.”
