    The Effectiveness of Solar Photovoltaic Energy Policies in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
    (2024-12-08) Hamdi, Mourad
    This study examines the effectiveness of solar photovoltaic (PV) energy policies in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, focusing on their role in advancing renewable energy adoption and achieving the United Arab Emirates’ (UAE) energy diversification goals. Using a comparative methodology, the research analyzes policy frameworks, stakeholder engagement, and project outcomes in the two cities. Dubai’s initiatives, including the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park and Shams Dubai, emphasize distributed generation and grassroots stakeholder participation. Conversely, Abu Dhabi’s large-scale projects, such as Noor Abu Dhabi and the Al Dhafra Solar PV Project, prioritize centralized energy production and strategic international partnerships. The findings highlight the distinct approaches of both cities, demonstrating Dubai’s ability to foster community engagement and Abu Dhabi’s success in achieving scalability and economic efficiency. Both strategies align with the UAE’s broader goals for sustainability, energy security, and economic diversification. However, challenges such as regulatory hurdles, financial constraints, and technical limitations remain. This paper provides actionable insights for policymakers and stakeholders, offering a replicable framework for enhancing renewable energy policies globally and advancing the transition to a sustainable energy future.

    Sustainable Packaging Trends in the Consumer Packaged Goods Market
    (2024-08-30) Hamdi, Mourad
    The increasing global awareness of environmental challenges, including plastic pollution and resource scarcity, has amplified the demand for sustainable packaging in the consumer packaged goods (CPG) sector. This paper examines sustainable packaging trends and their application within the CPG industry, which significantly contributes to environmental issues due to high usage of non-recyclable and single-use materials. The analysis explores advancements in material innovation, such as biodegradable and compostable packaging, technological integration, including AI and blockchain for supply chain transparency, and circular economy models like reusable packaging. The study highlights the environmental, regulatory, and consumer pressures driving these innovations and provides actionable recommendations for enhancing sustainability, including dematerialization, smart packaging, and stakeholder collaboration. By adopting these strategies, the CPG sector can reduce its ecological footprint, align with consumer preferences, and contribute to global sustainability goals, serving as a benchmark for other industries.
