Ajman
Critical minerals, policy, and the energy transition
The Energy Transition in Ajman, UAE
Ajman, the smallest emirate in the UAE, is making significant strides in energy diversification and industrial development. While the emirate's oil production is limited compared to Abu Dhabi and Dubai, Ajman is focusing on developing its renewable energy capabilities, particularly solar power. The emirate is also home to various small and medium-sized manufacturing enterprises, particularly in construction materials, which rely heavily on minerals like cement, limestone, and gypsum. The growth of Ajman’s industrial sector is supported by its access to major shipping ports in the UAE, facilitating trade in metals, energy resources, and construction materials. Additionally, Ajman is seeking to enhance its energy security by exploring opportunities in natural gas and clean energy solutions. Ajman’s strategic position, combined with its growing infrastructure investments and commitment to sustainable practices, positions the emirate as an emerging player in the UAE’s industrial landscape. As Ajman continues to invest in its energy sector and critical minerals, it aims to contribute to the national vision of energy diversification and sustainable development.
