Listen "Striking a Balance Between Fossil Fuels and Renewables with H.E. Mohammed Hamad Al Rumhy"
Episode Synopsis
In this podcast, the Al-Attiyah Foundation is joined by H.E. Mohammed Hamad Al Rumhy. As the long-standing Minister of Oil and Gas (1997-2020), subsequently Minister of Energy and Minerals (2020-2022), H.E. Dr. Al Rumhy spearheaded the Sultanate of Oman’s entry into petrochemical and chemical production in the early 2000s. In the interview, the following questions are explored:-How should young Omanis be thinking about their role in the country’s energy and development going forward?-How will the global energy landscape evolve in the next decade, especially with the push toward renewables?-How can fossil fuel producing countries like Oman strike a balance between economic dependence on fossil fuels and the urgency of the energy transition?
