Reinventing Logic and Cooperation Options for Gulf Countries'Participation in Clean Energy Supply Chain:Taking Saudi Arabia and UAE as Examples
The accelerated global energy transition has made the clean energy supply chain a key area of competition among countries.Different from the traditional oil and gas supply chains,clean energy supply chain exhibits distinctive features of upstream decentralization,midstream high technological threshold,and downstream deconcentration and localization.Saudi Arabia and the UAE primarily export oil and gas re-sources.Despite lacking dominance over the clean energy supply chain,they,by virtue of innate resource advantages,engage in the construction of the global clean energy supply chain by proactively initiating a range of clean energy policies and investments and collaborating on implementing and operating large-scale projects related to photovoltaic,wind power and hydrogen energy In the process of selecting cooperation partners,in addition to maintaining ongoing cooperation with Europe there is a growing inclination towards expanding partnerships in the East,and China has emerged as the most pivotal partner.China and the two Gulf countries boast huge potential for cooperation and should work together to expand the scope of supply chain cooperation and deepen the details based on the existing cooperation achievements,to shape the China-Gulf countries econimic corridor on the Eurasian continent with energy as the core,and endeavor to become the core force in the next stage of the complex game of global energy.
