ABSTRACT
Masdar City was one of the most ambitious sustainable developments in the world in 2010. It aims to be one of the world’s most sustainable cities. The emirate of Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has established its leadership position by launching Masdar, a different kind of energy company. Masdar is focused on developing commercially scalable, sustainable energy solutions by working with global partners to integrate new research with proven technologies into the development of efficient systems and processes that may be replicated globally. As a result, it is contributing to the search for solutions for some of mankind’s most pressing issues: energy security and climate change (Figure 9.1).
