KAPSARC – Are There Adequate Materials and Land Resources for the Saudi Power Sector to Achieve Net Zero by 2060?

The main theme of the document is the assessment of possibilities and resources needed to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in Saudi Arabia's power sector by 2060.

Key findings include that achieving net-zero emissions in Saudi Arabia's power sector by 2060 is possible but will require significant costs compared to current scenarios. Potential shortages of some critical materials can be addressed through planning, technology substitution, stockpiling, and other measures. Renewable energy resources and land availability are generally not limiting factors, although land constraints may arise in the northeastern region.
