Tunisia is partaking in the 12th Arab Energy Conference, held December 11-12 in Doha (Qatar) under the theme of “Energy and Arab Cooperation.”
This event is attended by energy ministers of Arab countries members of the Organisation of Arab Petroleum Exporting Countries (OAPEC).
It will provide an opportunity to discuss international developments in energy markets and their implications for the Arab energy sector. This in addition to efforts of Arab countries to tackle the challenges of energy security, and issues of energy, environment, and sustainable development, reads an Industry, Mines and Energy Ministry press release issued Monday.
The conference also discusses topics related to Arab and global energy resources, downstream industries, and energy demand management in Arab countries, in addition to technological developments and their implications for the energy sector.
Tunisia seeks to attract energy investment and contribute to global efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change and reduce CO2
emissions by 45% by 2030.
To do so, Tunisia has adopted a strategy aimed mainly at boosting energy efficiency in all sectors, diversifying the energy mix, developing electricity interconnections with neighbouring countries, boosting the capacity of electricity grids, developing storage capacity and promoting the green hydrogen market.
