As per a survey from the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ccab.org.br\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Arab Brazilian Chamber of Commerce<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0Market Intelligence Department, an estimated USD 235 billion are being invested in clean energy across the region, with generation expected to be 79 gigawatts. For the sake of comparison, the Middle East\u2019s installed solar power capacity was 2,350 megawatts in 2017, with wind power providing another 434 megawatts.<\/p>\n<p>Projects in the pipeline for the next few years include a sustainable city in Sharjah, UAE, with a USD 544 million budget, and an expected USD 1.63 billion to make Dubai a \u201cgreen paradise\u201d by 2025.<\/p>\n<p>These projects could mean business opportunities for Brazilian companies. For one, Brazil is one of the world\u2019s leading manufacturers of aerogenerators, as well as the second biggest global market for wind power. Moreover, the country has mastered organic waste-based energy production technologies.<\/p>\n<p>UAE solar power projects alone amount to USD 256 billion, as per the Arab Chamber survey. Several Arab sovereign funds are spending heavily in this front.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Trade show<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In light of this scenario, the Arab Chamber has decided to rejoin WETEX, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wetex.ae\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">a water, energy, technology and environment show<\/a>\u00a0taking place from October 21 to 23 in Dubai, UAE.
