Saudi Arabia could hit net-zero emissions by 2060, with 151 GW of solar

Saudi researchers outlined pathways for Saudi Arabia to reach net-zero power sector emissions by 2060, requiring up to 3.6% of land - mostly for onshore wind - with 151.3 GW of solar PV covering only 0.16% of the country.A group of researchers from Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah Petroleum Studies and Research Center (KAPSARC) has outlined a potential pathway for the kingdom to achieve net-zero emissions by 2060, finding that the efforts required could lead to the occupation of around 3.6% of Saudi land, particularly in the northeastern region. "Under the high-demand net-zero scenario we modelled ...
