The article discusses the current state of clean energy transition in the Gulf region, particularly focusing on countries like Oman, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar. Despite having ambitious projects in place, such as green hydrogen mega-projects and carbon capture initiatives, the actual progress is slow due to structural issues. The article highlights the need for enabling conditions to scale these solutions effectively. Comparisons are drawn with the United States and Europe, where clear policies have triggered significant private investments in clean energy. Private industrial players are also mentioned for their proactive investments in carbon capture, electrification, and sustainable fuels, despite challenges in cost and market rewards. The article emphasizes the Gulf region's competitive advantage in terms of patient capital, integrated infrastructure, and strong project delivery capability. However, it states that clean energy requires a different mindset, focusing on building entire systems rather than individual projects. The need for a unique model reflecting the Gulf's resources and investment horizon is highlighted. The article stresses the importance of clear, bankable, and fast policies to support the transition to a clean energy economy. The conclusion calls for a rewiring of the energy sector, not just in generation but also in pricing, emissions reduction valuation, innovation permission, and rewarding climate-aligned products. The article warns against the risk of remaining a region of pilot projects without scalability and highlights the importance of structural changes for successful energy transition.
