At a recent conference on energy transition and economic diversification in Arab countries, Jamal Al Loughani, Secretary General of the Arab Energy Organization, emphasized the importance of integrating traditional and renewable energy sources for achieving energy security. He highlighted a 35% increase in Arab investments in renewable energy since 2020, reaching over $18 billion.

Al Loughani underscored that while oil and gas will continue to play a crucial role, the energy transition should focus on more efficient and sustainable use, including technologies like carbon capture.
