Moving towards a sustainable future
Comprehensive Solutions and Services to Protect the Environment
The Kuwait’s environment has been under considerable pressure from the effects of industrial and urban growth and discharge from tankers and oil platforms.
With increasing population, growing industrial development and urbanisation; the government is constantly seeking ways to reduce the impact on the environment by carefully examining the harmful effects of rapid development.
A favorable investment policy augmenting the influx of pollution control equipment and a spur in Government projects directed at environmental awareness are expected to boost the Kuwaiti environmental industry. KEWE is a unique platform that showcases environment friendly products, technologies, services, solutions and raises awareness about the need for such measures. The event will also act as a platform for corporates to showcase their environment policy and plans.
Products and services will broadly cover the following areas:
- All products and services which help manage environmental pollution and climate control.
- All organisations which demonstrate a strong commitment towards environment and climate responsibility.
- Environmental protection and monitoring.
- Biosphere and marine environment.
- Climate change and control.
- Advance warning systems.
- Pollution and CO2 emissions.
- Recycling systems.
- Technological solutions for industrial and medical waste.
- Solid Waste Management.
- Environment Consultants.
Meeting ever increased developmental needs!
Kuwait has extremely limited natural fresh water resources and therefore operates some of the world’s largest desalination plants. The main source of potable water is secured by desalinated seawater (about 90–93% desalinated water blended with brackish water).
Municipal and Industrial waste water treatment equipment markets are robust in Kuwaitand are poised for growth with water clean-up and treatment projects underway. Demand for ground water decontamination equipment is also likely to grow up to ensure sufficient accessibility to usable water.
Treatment processes such as desalination and reverse osmosis are expected to gain momentum. Desalination processes especially demonstrate a strong growth potential due to planned capacity additions expected over the coming years. The desalination industry is the backbone of the water sector (92% of domestic and industrial needs, 60% of all water use) inKuwait and will continue being so in the foreseeable future.
Products and services will broadly cover the following areas:
- Water treatment,
- Water examination and quality control
- Water desalination
- Rainwater harvesting
- Irrigation and ground water projects
- Water conservation and eciency
- Well drilling and accessories
- Water purication and distribution systems
- Water pollution control equipments and systems
- Water recycling and treatment
- Waterproong and dewatering
- Water collection and distribution
- Sewage plant operations and technology
Alternative and Renewable Energy Resources for Production
Kuwait, an OPEC member and the world’s fourth-largest oil exporter, has one of the highest power consumption rates per capita in the world. Currently,Kuwaitis facing rising energy demands. As a result, the Kuwaiti Government plans to double the installed capacity to 26,000MW by 2020. As a part of its efforts to face the energy shortage, the Kuwaiti Government is keen to develop alternative energy applications. A solar energy plant will be built to obtain 10% of total supply from renewable energy by 2020. In addition solar energy systems will be installed at its government facilities, including ministries and various state installations.
Suitable Solar Energy Applications for Kuwait
Due to climatic conditions and latitude, Solar Energy offers substantial opportunities in:
- Solar Thermal Power Plants (CSP)
- Solar PV Power Plants
- Solar Water Heating
- Solar Cooling
- Building-integrated photovoltaics (BIPV)
Potential of Wind Power Generation in Kuwait
Areas West and South of Kuwait are more suitable for wind power generation.The highest potential wind power was found during the summer season which is the peak demand season of electricity in Kuwaitthese Patterns for daily and seasonal wind power generation are inline with the national power demand.
Products and services will broadly cover the following areas:
- Solar, wind, ocean and bio-fuel energy
- Bioenergetics and geothermal energy
- Nuclear power
- Energy conservation and efficiency
- Self-sustained commercial and industrial energy solutions
- Energy monitoring, saving and control
