Bahrain''s Vision 2030 outlines measures to protect the natural environment, reduce carbon emissions, minimize pollution, and promote sustainable energy. Bahrain is committed to designing energy efficiency policies and promoting renewable energy technologies that support Bahrain''s long-term climate action and environmental protection ambitions. Endorsed by Bahrain''s Cabinet and monitored by SEA, theNational Energy Efficiency Action Plan (NEEAP) and the National Renewable Energy Action Plan (NREAP) set national energy efficiencyand national renewable energy 2025 targets of6and 5 percent,respectively,withthe NREAPtarget increasing to10percent by 2035.
Bahrain reached its six percent energy efficiency targetin 2019, six years ahead of schedule. According to official sources, Bahrain''s energy efficiency willimproveas governmentministries implement the NEEAP, primarily through a new green building code permitforall new construction. Bahrain willhave to produce 280 megawatts of electricity from renewables by 2025, increasing to 710 megawatts by 2035, to meet the country''s renewable energy targets. According to official sources, Bahrainwill rely primarily on solar, wind, and waste to energy power generationto reduce carbon emissions and achieve national renewable energy targets.
Bahrain''s proposed renewable energy pipeline consists of solar, wind, and waste to energy technologies, with plans to capture the majority of Bahrain''s renewable energy mix from solar power. Some of Bahrain''s key solar initiatives include: planning for a solar farm project on the Askar landfill, delivering 100 megawatts of renewable power; a50-megawattinitiative to install solar panels on the roofs of hundreds of government-owned buildings, and the potential installation of "floating solar" technologies to be deployed for power generation in Bahrain''s territorial waters in order to address the problem of land scarcity for larger solar farms.
Offshore renewable energy development presents an opportunity to pursue large-scale generation and achieve higher renewable energy targets. Bahrain has a good wind regime and shallow waters conducive to the installation of near shore or offshore wind farms. Other offshore renewable energy options include connecting Bahrain and its GCC neighbors through an integrated network of infrastructure facilities with renewable energy capabilities, such as causeways and railway systems.
Bahrain is planning a heat waste recovery pilot program, whereexcessheat generated byAluminum Bahrain (Alba), the world''s largest single-site smelter outside of mainland China,can be captured and converted to electricity.Like other GCCstates, over half of Bahrain''s annual electricity consumption isdue tothe extensive use ofair conditioningbecause of the warm Gulf climate.As a result, Bahrain is looking to utilize the practice of "district cooling" to increase the efficiency of air conditioning by as much as50percent.
Bahrain generates approximately 2.6 kg of solid waste per person per day. To better manage solid waste challenges, Bahrain''s Ministry of Works is currently overseeinga project implemented by an international consultancy to analyze and determine waste materials available for recycling, conversion to agricultural products, or electricity production through incinerationat the Askar landfill. Bahrain is also exploring options for international investment in plasma gasification—as process which converts waste into resalable byproducts, including hydrogen, electricity, and construction materials.

In attempts to bridge existing legal disparities withinBahrain's energy sector, the SEA aims to draft and proposeunified and sustainable energy policies pursuant to the LegislativeDecree 87 of 2019, to ensure that Bahrain undertakes theappropriate measures where necessary.
Intending to reach a total national renewable energy target of15% by 2035, the Action Plans incorporate both Bahrain's 2030Economic Vision launched in 2008 by His Majesty King Hamad bin IsaAl Khalifa and the Sustainable Development Goals 2030 carried outby the United Nations General Assembly.
The NREAP intends to optimise domestic gas resources, reduce gasemissions and electricity peak demands, and enhance theeconomy's competitiveness. Accordingly, the SEA has proposedthree policies to attract private sector investments:
In addition to saving BHD 1.6 million annually, the policiesmentioned are likely to attract more than BHD 140 million ofinvestment and reduce greenhouse emissions by 392,000 tonnes ofCO2 per year.
The NEEAP introduces several initiatives depending on theeconomic sector to reduce Bahrain's reliance on importedenergy, prolong the lifetime of the domestic gas resources, andoptimise its lucrative value.
