The Energy Transition in Fujairah, UAE

Fujairah is uniquely positioned in the UAE as the only emirate located on the east coast, giving it strategic access to international shipping routes in the Arabian Gulf. This geographical advantage enhances Fujairah's role as a critical player in the UAE’s energy sector, especially in petroleum and natural gas exports. The emirate is investing in the development of its renewable energy resources, including solar power, to diversify its energy portfolio. Fujairah’s robust infrastructure for energy generation, transmission, and storage, combined with its deep-water ports, makes it an important hub for energy trade. The emirate is also home to key oil storage and refining facilities, contributing significantly to the UAE’s oil export capabilities. In addition to its oil and gas infrastructure, Fujairah is investing in the growth of its metals and minerals sector, including gypsum and limestone, which support the construction and manufacturing industries. As Fujairah embraces clean energy solutions, it aims to support the UAE's broader goals for energy diversification while continuing to contribute to the nation's economic growth through sustainable mineral and energy production.
