UAE to Increase LNG Exports and Invest in AI

On Monday, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure Suhail Al Mazrouei stated that the UAE does not intend to only meet the domestic demand for liquefied natural gas (LNG) but also to increase its exports of it. He added on the sidelines of 'Abu Dhabi Finance Week' that the global demand for natural gas exceeds investment in production projects. 'We agree that the demand for natural gas exceeds the projects we are seeing,' he continued. Oil and gas are important for the energy equation and for our clients who rely on us, and they will remain important. In the field of artificial intelligence, Al Mazroui said: 'We are working to open new horizons for artificial intelligence companies to improve the efficiency of electricity and water networks, and we have achieved a 30% saving in energy consumption by using AI'.
