What trends did you find in this
article? Name and describe each
of these trends.
Point of Manifestation
 Which STEEP areas are
driving the growth of the
trends?
 Explain why
Mention at least 3 STEEP areas
1. Policymakers requirements:
Authorities and academics were motivated to focus
on the advancement of non-fossil fuel economies by
the continuously growing environmental issues and
energy demand. Over the past few years, there has
been a notable increase in research on the
development of non-renewable energy sources,
including solar, air, biofuels, and hydropower.
2. Concentrated solar energy
CSE evolved further for purpose of generating solar
power. The sun's radiance is captured and converted
into energy by this decade's highly developed copy.
3. Concentrated solar power
Global use of concentrated solar power (CSP) for
energy production has occurred. The estimated
global use of solar energy is 18,000 TWh/year; CSP
method can produce electricity at a rate of 8,000
h/year.
The study presents major scenarios' evaluation to
understand the return on investment:
(1) business as usual,
(2) business support through Khalifa funding,
(3) Khalifa funding and interest payment
Social:
In comparison to the situation where the land is not
subsidized, the land subsidy lead to significantly
add additional, which means that the investor
should earn significantly more money?
Economic:
The institution has gained support from Khalifa
funds over the decades in the UAE. In the scholarly
literature on electricity and industry, this help with
renewable energy project is not always backed up
by concrete evidence. The contemporary analysis
 thus illustrates the enormous benefit of such
supportive investment coverage that might have
greater economic consequences.

Technological:
Paying tax on the sale of strength and boosting the
government's economic reserve in the process. This
sales tax will likely be expanded upon to provide
aid for similar obligations, which will finally lead to
sustainability. While this idea has not been found in
recent investigations, it significantly adds to the
knowledge already available regarding the
technological and ecological standards related to the
investment in simple energy.

Point of Impact Now

 what effects does this
have now?
 what effects may this
have in future?
List at least one positive and one
negative effect for each trend.
Pros:
The legal structure, administrative desire, and
regulatory requirements of the CSP age in the
MENA regions are what will determine how well it
is improved. With larger investment stocks inside
the economic system, the idea improved the
economic environment and manufacturing
functionality. A 2011 assessment revealed the
global business network around the industry that
faced development-related CSP barriers.
 Cons:
If the CSE era does not flourish, the MENA region
may see a negligible increase. The immediate need
and low-cost generation to switch from coal to
green electricity have the ability to increase this
capacity.
Future:
In future additional research on certain players
involved in the innovation and use of smooth
power. Also, since the availability of land isn't
necessarily a disadvantage, we recommend that the
government create a plan to offer comparably
subsidised land for these firms in order to
encourage local and international investors to invest
in large-scale projects in the UAE.
