Source: Oxford Institute for Energy Studies, et al. (2017). Oil demand in the transport sector in Kuwait is projected to increase by 3% per year from 2015 to 2035. According to the International Energy Agency, the growth rate in global transport oil demand will be dramatically lower, 0.6% per year in the period to 2040.
Kuwait has a soft target of increasing the share of renewables in total energy demand to about 15% by 2030, up from less than 1% today. The potential for increasing the share of renewables in the electricity generation mix in Kuwait is huge, given its substantial solar and wind resources. Central Statistics Ofice,
Most of the air-conditioning and refrigeration systems in Kuwait are imported. While the Ministry of Electricity and Water sets the minimum eficiency requirement in kilowatts per refrigeration ton (kW/RT) at 48 degrees Celsius, some imported systems with lower eficiencies make it into the local market.
As a step towards minimizing energy consumption and reducing environmental impacts, a majority of the desalination plants under construction in GCC countries are RO or combined RO/MSF. Kuwait, however, is lagging behind these countries in its uptake of reserve osmosis technology.
The results showed that the sodium sulfur EST and compressed air energy storage (CAES) were the two optimal options when comparing major technical and economical aspects.
