Baghdad: Nafeh al-Naji
Experts in the field of administration and economics urged the government to activate and expand renewable energy initiatives and to abandon methods that pollute the environment, especially after entering into binding international agreements in this regard.
Dr. Muhammad Samir, a lecturer at the College of Administration and Economics, believes that diversification in the sectors of the economy has become a necessity, as it can achieve growth and grant the necessary flexibility for advancement, provision of basic services, economic and investment opportunities, and societal stability by improving infrastructure, providing services, and switching to clean and renewable energy sources.
He added that Iraq entered into major economic crises that almost led to the destruction of the entire economic system of the country, especially with the previous governments having to borrow locally and internationally several times to pay off some of their obligations. For his part, Abdul-Kadhim Al-Khakani, a researcher in the field of economics, said: The identity of the economy is rentier, as its cash revenues depend almost completely on oil rents in the absence of any other productive activities that contribute to public revenues.
He pointed out that many economic problems directly affected the governorates that are on or below the poverty line, including Muthanna, Diwaniyah, Nasiriyah and others, in which there are no sources of production, neglected agriculture and expanded areas of desertification, in addition to the deterioration of its factories and the obsolescence of their virtual life and their character has become largely consumerist. big. In another direction, Mazen Al-Saad, a researcher and expert specializing in sustainable energy, does not see harm in continuing to rely on the fossil energy sector, but he stresses the importance of Iraq turning to energy production in an unconventional way, because the country is almost absent from the world, by moving from energy that pollutes the environment. To environmentally friendly renewable energy, although Iraq has entered into major agreements with giants of this kind such as France's Total and others.
He added that the government must be aware of the seriousness of this issue, as the trend towards clean energy does not eliminate the role of fossil fuels, which are known to be cheap for the producing country, but at the same time they will not be able to keep pace with the world in renewable and clean energy.
He added that Iraq has now started simple projects in this direction, but there is a project to produce generating energy from green hydrogen gas, which is an alternative energy. The Ministry of Oil has started the Research and Development Center with this project in a small way, and they were able to produce electricity instead of using generators.
Al-Saad pointed out the importance of using hydrogen by analyzing water and separating oxygen from hydrogen, as oxygen is used and sold to the Ministry of Industry for their own use, while hydrogen is converted into energy, and there is now a partnership between the Ministry of Oil and the two companies (Cylinder Zero and Halliburton) in this direction, although the issue It's still in its infancy.
Al-Saad acknowledged that there are major problems in providing electric energy, such as problems with the supply of dry gas from Iran, and therefore there is currently no clear alternative to fossil energy on the ground, although the government has made recent contracts with France and Total to produce about 2,000 megawatts through a company. (Masdar) and a Chinese company from solar energy, but these agreements so far are just ink on paper, indicating that there are no capabilities in the technology sector comparable to the world, and the staffing is still poor.
