executes needs for new business opportunities and existing business and initiate,
lead and support initiatives toward development and retention of new knowledge that
will deepen and broaden the technical capabilities of QP. It will be central in forming
QP‘s long-term strategy for technology, and remain forefront of key technologies
through collaborative research with international partners. Recently Qatar extends oil
field pact with France's Total
In Water and Energy Technology Qatar is taking very good initiatives. Lack of water
resources it is highly active on water saving and green technology. With one of the
world‘s lowest level of rainfall, Qatar depends on water from three sources:
desalination, groundwater and recycled water, all subject to inefficiencies that may
create stresses and eventually pose a threat to water security..
Power distributed through Qatar‘s grid is produced water using gas turbine
technology. The gas used to produce domestic power has an opportunity cost in
forgone export revenues. For a few large industrial users, power is provided through
standalone generation facilities. Qatar could achieve greater efficiencies through
technical enhancements. Such changes could save 5% of domestic gas
consumption—and possibly may be more. By burning less natural gas, Qatar would
support the national goal of lowering carbon dioxide, reducing the country‘s
contribution to global climate change. With air conditioning accounting for 67% of
residential power consumption, a shift to modern energy-efficient systems would
bring significant savings. Government will look to encourage the use of energyefficient
technologies, such as automated sensor lighting systems that cut power
demand directly, Wider use of district cooling systems on domestic and commercial
premises would save on power and further the environmental benefit of expanding
the market for recycled water. For new structures, gains will come from efficient
design.
