摘要: Abstract Saudi Arabia is generating 194.4 billion kWh of electricity through 500,000 barrels of oil. With the demand growing at 7.5% annually, country may need 8.3 million oil per day by 2020. This going to put as leader among top CO 2 emitting countries 2020 with emissions peaking 750 Gg from current 400,000 Gg. not a healthy sign for country׳s GDP. The can easily mitigate this problem using available wet and EGS (enhanced geothermal system) systems. 13 million Gg be mitigated utilizing its energy sources desalination plants along western coastal region. Another 900 Gg adopting GHP technology space cooling heating. Change in policy, solving tariff related issue CDM sources, still maintain supremacy world.
