Kahramaa''s role as a leading force in the QNRES is to: regulate and define RE regulations, issue licenses, and monitor compliance, execute a detailed RE deployment program, manage stakeholder interaction, prepare and issue tendering documents, and support research and innovation initiatives.
This week, BYD announced the launch of a large 40-foot containerized Battery Energy Storage Station (ESS) in Doha, Qatar. The BYD ESS is part of a Solar Testing Facility whose ceremonial launch at the Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP) coincided with the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change
The results show that increasing the share of RES in electricity production is possible by as much as 80%. The optimum cases for the deployment of wind, photovoltaic (PV), and concentrated solar power (CSP) with storage technologies presented a 28.3%, 23.4%, and 38.2% share to electricity produced, respectively.
Examples of renewable energy schemes for which a robust legal or regulatory framework could be enacted include contracts for difference, carbon pricing, green bonds, carbon capture and storage, and renewable energy certification.
Qatar is well known as one of the world''s largest liquefied natural gas producing and exporting nations in the world. In recent years, Qatar has taken significant steps towards diversification of its energy sources with a view to reducing its carbon emissions. Qatar targets 20% of its electricity being generated from renewable sources by 2030, and a carbon zero footprint by 2050. This strategy has and will continue to drive significant investment in renewable energy infrastructure. Qatar''s current primary renewable energy focus is solar energy and waste-to-energy sources.
Qatar''s first major solar energy plant, Al Kharsaah, opened in October 2022 and comprises more than 1.8 million solar panels expected to generate around 2 TWh of electricity per year. Qatar announced a US$630 million investment in two further solar plants in Mesaieed and Ras Laffan industrial cities. The two further solar power plants have a combined peak capacity of 880 MW and are expected to be operational by the end of 2024.
Qatar is exploring waste-to-energy solutions as a viable form of renewable energy to further diversify its energy portfolio. Currently, the Domestic Solid Waste Management Centre in Mesaieed generates 50 MW of electricity per day. In June 2022, Qatar announced plans to enhance its recycling initiative by establishing a new waste management centre, where electricity will be generated by recycling and processing waste.
Qatar is exploring the viability of large-scale wind farm projects in the country and has completed a study to set up a wind farm project with a significant potential capacity in the northern part of the country. Such projects will require significant investment should they go ahead.
The renewable energies market in Qatar is at varying points in the project life cycle and is likely to require stakeholders to deal with issues ranging from regulations through to procurement and project delivery. Dentons'' projects offering means we are well placed to assist clients at any stage of the project life cycle as Qatar further invests in renewable energy production.

Doha, Qatar: A new research that aims to store renewable energy produced by solar and wind using an electrolyser could prove groundbreaking for Qatar in the country''s mission to cut greenhouse emissions by 2030.
The research, presented by Ebrima L Darboe, a visiting research assistant at Qatar University Centre for Advanced Materials (QUCAM) from the University of Gambia, aims to transfer excess renewable energy through the electrolyser to make hydrogen, which can be put into a fuel cell for energy supply. Electrolysers use electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen and are essential for producing low-emission hydrogen from renewable electricity.
"The country aims to achieve carbon zero footprint by 2050. It would be a good option for them to explore (this research) because it will help them reduce carbon emissions. Secondly, it will also help supply power to remote areas without electricity. There are some challenges in taking energy to remote areas because the longer the transmission line, the more expensive it becomes. So, it means that renewable energy with this kind of system is key," Darboe said.
He stressed that the research tries to mitigate fossil fuel emissions of greenhouse gases. Implementation of projects like this, there will be zero carbon emissions and reduced greenhouse gas emissions, which is the leading cause of climate change, Darboe added. The research will also help provide adequate energy for a standalone household energy supply, facilitate transmission to remote areas, and eliminate energy dumping.
According to him, Qatar and countries with abundant sunlight and relatively good wind speed can exploit the research. Qatar''s Al Kharsaah Solar PV Power Plant (KSPP) is an example of the country taking advantage of the abundant sunlight.
"When you implement this kind of project, there will be no power interruption at any given time by incorporating the electrolyser system with the batteries. This means that as energy is coming, once the batteries cannot store all the energy, it would be diverted to the electrolyser, which will produce it as hydrogen, and that can be later fed into the fuel cell and then continue the flow of energy."
