The forum held the inaugural session of its program “Energy in Simplicity: Understanding and Sustainability.”
On Thursday, April 25th, the Energy Team at NFESD organized the first session of the program “Energy in Simplicity: Understanding and Sustainability.” This initial session was a panel discussion entitled “Fundamentals of Renewable versus Non-Renewable Energy,” featuring the program coordinators, Engineer Mohammed Al-Araiqi and Engineer Khaled Al-Haimi.
The panel discussion, conducted via the “Teams Meet” application, focused on providing an introductory overview of the “Energy in Simplicity: Understanding and Sustainability” program, the importance of disseminating and promoting knowledge in the field of energy and its relationship to environmental and climate issues, and investment opportunities in renewable energy.
Engineer Khaled Al-Haimi clarified that the “Energy in Simplicity: Understanding and Sustainability” program will offer a series of specialized workshops in various energy fields, while ensuring the simplification of scientific knowledge in this broad and complex area to make it accessible to everyone.
For his part, Engineer Mohammed Alariqi emphasized the importance of individuals beginning to move towards renewable energy as much as possible, whether in their homes, workplaces, or any location where an energy source is needed. He further stated that governments and nations should adopt reliance on renewable energy in all their development and service projects.
Alariqi pointed out that this is the most successful way to enhance sustainability and contribute to combating the most significant factors causing climate change, which are energy sources reliant on fossil fuels, whether oil or coal.
The session included interventions from participants, which primarily focused on understanding the interconnected relationship between energy and climate change, and the extent to which positive change can be contributed through the adoption of individual and community initiatives, as well as institutional visions within the framework of moving towards renewable energy sources.
