Energy in Iraq between Reality and Hope Comparison with the Vision of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Abstract

Renewable energy, or what is sometimes called clean energy, is the use of energy in a way that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations. Renewable energy sources take many forms, including wind energy, solar energy, and water energy, which is considered one of the sustainable energy sources. This research paper aims to identify the concept of renewable energy and its forms and to explain some of the experiences associated with it and the extent to which it can be applied in Iraq to benefit from the experience of countries involved in this field in order to meet increasing human needs, protect the biosphere and prevent and mitigate forms of environmental pollution resulting from energy sources. Traditional. The Saudi plan, which focuses on diversifying energy sources with a clear vision until 2030, was reviewed. The results of the research showed that there is a possibility for Iraq to implement the Saudi vision as it is experiencing similar environmental conditions and high average solar radiation. As well as the failure of the plan for renewable energy that was established in 2010.
