Solar Investments - UAE
Abu Dhabi is committed to a 7% target of renewable power
capacity by 2020, which is 1,500 MW, mostly from solar.
Masdar is investing in utility scale Concentrating Solar
Power (CSP) and PV projects.
CSP is a dispatchable renewable energy source and key to
achieving a large part of the target.
Shams 1 is the first CSP plant using parabolic trough
technology in Abu Dhabi. Masdar will own 60%, a foreign
shareholder the remaining 40%

Driving the Progress of a Low Carbon Economy
Sam Nader, Director- Masdar Carbon
OBJECTIVES STRATEGY
Masdar Carbon Strategy
Become a leader in carbon
emissions reduction
Advance projects that will bring
significant reductions to Abu
Dhabi‟s carbon footprint
Focus on clean fossil fuel
power and industrial energy
efficiency
Create additional value through
carbon monetization under
international policy
Carbon Monetisation – Kyoto Protocol
The Kyoto Protocol binds developed countries to reduce their GHG
emissions by an average of 5% between 2008 and 2012
Developing countries are involved on voluntary basis through the
Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) of the Kyoto Protocol
Under the CDM, projects reducing GHG emissions can receive
tradable Carbon Credits against every Ton of CO2 equivalent
reduced.
A new carbon trading and finance market has emerged
A UN conference set in Copenhagen in December to negotiate a
more stringent global climate agreement post 2012
End to End CDM Solutions
ORIGINATE COMMERCIALIZE
• Capacity Building: Institutional setting for governments (DNA building), capacity building
and training of asset owners
• Project Identification: Opportunity assessment, project screening, feasibility studies and
site inspections
• CDM Project Registration: All CDM project cycle services including Project Design
Documents (PDDs) and new Methodologies, interface with 3rd parties, local/UN approvals,
verification, monitoring of emissions
• Project Management: Technology sourcing, physical project management, execution
capabilities
• Finance: Investment, project finance, carbon finance & monetization (carbon credit
purchase)
