Biden’s plan in U.S. likely to encourage Middle East to be net renewables exporter

ABU DHABI, 20th May, 2021 (WAM) -- The Biden Administration’s ambitious plans to scale up renewable energy in the U.S. will have a wider impact on the energy landscape in the Middle East, especially in the Arabian Gulf, according to the top official of a global body, experts and major industry players in the region.
Talking to Emirates News Agency (WAM) about Biden’s plan to make the U.S. a 100 percent clean energy economy with net-zero emissions by 2050, Francesco La Camera, Director-General of International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), said such efforts are likely to encourage "incredible regional progress" as Middle East has a profound opportunity to maximise its renewable energy resources and become a net-exporter of renewable power and fuels in the future.
