  • This book aims to shed light on the opportunities for the localization and exchange of knowledge on renewable energy in the Arab world. During the past two decades, despite the information and communication revolution, the Arab world did not optimally invest in these information technologies. Nowadays, we stand on the threshold of a new century marked by the shift to renewable energy, and the use of clean energy. Nevertheless, the region is far away from developing its own technologies or investing in the exchange and transfer of knowledge about these promising technologies. This book is intended to shed light on the following questions: Will Arabs develop a new Arab vision to localize renewable energy resources and develop a new Arab structure that includes the rich and the poor, which will include all oil-producing countries including Jordan, Palestine, Iraq, Lebanon and Tunisia? Will investing in science and scientific research become an Arab and national development priority? The duality of renewable energy and nuclear power in the Arab world will remain problematic unless an enlightened discourse with accurate information and transparency exists between decision makers and civil society. The energy mix in the Arab world will change in the future in light of diminishing oil resources, and the availability of clean renewable energy sources. However, it is necessary to differentiate between the availability of raw energy sources (also other conventional energy resources) and the capability to utilize them in an economic and environmentally friendly manner. In short, the Arab world will witness profound changes on the renewable energy front due to the development of technology to optimize, store and transport energy, alongside the availability of traditional energy sources as such gas and oil-shale, which will in turn affect the nature of energy monopoly. The capability to transmit knowledge, creativity and technology (intellectual capitalism) will remain the determining factor in who will take charge of the future.
