ADIPEC AFRA LAST-1696259509619 — But the energy industry’s mega-event ADIPEC, which opened today in Abu Dhabi, will have its focus and all the talking points directed towards the future. A future where sustainability is twined with the energy needs of the global population. For the UAE, there is another goal looming on the horizon - and which will get more real between now and 27 years down the line. In other words, that’s how the ‘Net Zero’ will shape up, which is when a fine balance is sought to be achieved between carbon emissions - and its removal.
