RE: Sharjah City Municipality in UAE
When the Venezuelans talk about our current socio-economic crirsis, being an oil country, we always compare ourselves with UAE and the city of Dubai, which is also an oil country, but they reflect in its social and economic development, the wealth generated by oil sales, at least that is what we observe through media reports.
The United Arab Emirates is a major producer of natural gas and oil, which is ranked seventh worldwide in the total of proven reserves of both. Abu Dhabi has the majority of oil and natural gas reserves followed by Dubai, and small amounts in Sharjah and Ras Al-Khaimah. The country is also a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
Abu Dhabi is coordinating its efforts to invest its hydrocarbon profits in extracting more energy from its renewable sources. For this purpose, the Government has set for 2020 the objective of satisfying 7% of its energy needs with supplies from its renewable energy sources (wind, geothermal, hydroelectric, tidal, solar, wave energy, biomass and biomass). biofuels).
