Saudi Arabia may eliminate fossil fuels by 2050
According to the British "Financial Times" Chinese network news, Saudi Arabia's oil minister Ali? Ali Al-Naimi said yesterday that the world’s largest crude oil exporter may phase out fossil fuels by the middle of this century.
For a country that relies on huge oil reserves for its wealth, strength and excessive influence, this statement is shocking.
Naimi's ingenious rhetoric about oil supply often affects market conditions. At a conference on business and climate change in Paris, he said: "In Saudi Arabia, we realized that in the end, we will not need fossil fuels sooner or later. I don't know when - maybe in 2040, 2050. Or later."
He said that for this reason, Saudi Arabia plans to become "the world's solar and wind power," and may start exporting electricity in a few years instead of fossil fuels.
Many in the energy industry will think that his proposed goal of phase out fossil fuels in 2040 is too ambitious. Saudi Arabia is currently the largest oil consumer in the Middle East, with more than 25% of its total crude oil production (now exceeding 10 million barrels per day) for domestic consumption.
A 2012 report from Citigroup stated that if Saudi oil consumption continues to grow at the current rate, by 2030 the country could become a net oil importer.
However, while admitting that Saudi Arabia will someday stop using oil, natural gas and coal, Naimi said that the appeal for allowing most of the world’s proven fossil fuel reserves to stay underground in order to prevent climate change from reaching a dangerous level requires “a period of time. The period was placed behind the head."
“Can you afford that kind of practice today?” he asked other speakers at the meeting. These people include the British economist Nick? Stern (Nick Stern), author of the 2006 British government report on the economics of climate change.
"This may be a great goal, but it will take a long time," said Naimi.
He said that given that there are still more than 1 billion people in the world who have not yet used electricity, fossil fuels will face strong demand in the coming years. He added that more work is needed to find ways to burn oil, coal and natural gas without releasing carbon dioxide that exacerbates global warming.
For years, Saudi Arabia has stated that it plans to use more renewable energy. Officials in the country announced three years ago that they plan to build a large number of solar power plants in order to be able to export solar power. However, the drop in oil prices raises doubts about whether such projects will be launched.
