The objective of this document is to outline the regulations to protect and enhance the Environment in Ras Laffan Industrial City. The Regulations is designed to standardize the Environmental requirements to be complied by existing and future industries in the city, considering the existing environmental status, prevalent State, Regional &
Our environmental assessment guidelines define the requirements and methodologies for undertaking environmental impact identification and assessment studies. To support capital projects, QatarEnergy also has guidelines in place for developing and preparing environmental management plans for both construction and operational activities.
The key sector to add to the Qatar energy mix is solar energy. The list below provides the key sub-sectors in this industry: • Renewable Energy and Energy Storage Systems. • Energy efficiency solutions - dispatchable efficient gas-fired generation. • Smart solutions, including artificial intelligence and digitization.
Kahramaa''s role as a leading force in the QNRES is to: regulate and define RE regulations, issue licenses, and monitor compliance, execute a detailed RE deployment program, manage stakeholder interaction, prepare and issue tendering documents, and support research and innovation initiatives.
Our environmental assessment guidelines define the requirements and
To support our approach on climate change action, we have defined a number of short-to-medium term climate change targets focusing on reducing the carbon intensity of our upstream and LNG operations; improving operational excellence through energy efficiency, reduced flaring and methane intensity reduction; as well as growing our low-carbon business activities with renewables and Carbon Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) capacity targets.
We aim to meet our climate change targets through the implementation of "5Cs": consolidate, curb, create, compensate and circulate.

As a responsible corporate citizen, we recognize the importance of safeguarding and preserving Qatar''s natural resources. We acknowledge the urgent need to address environmental challenges, such as the depletion of resources and loss of biodiversity. Through our actions and collaborations, we contribute to a more sustainable future for our country and the world at large.
Environmental Management
QatarEnergy has a robust Environmental Management System (EMS) in place that is ISO 14001:2015 certified. The EMS applies to all QatarEnergy''s current and planned activities. Our standards, procedures and guidelines are intricately designed to align with our dedication to environmental welfare, ensuring the preservation of ecosystems and minimizing impacts on the receiving environment.
We have corporate standards in place for environmental risks and requirements related to site preparation works for new capital projects, abandonment at the end of life of assets and the remediation and restoration of land. Our corporate procedures include a procedure for conducting environmental assessments for new capital projects. This procedure complies with Qatar''s Environmental Protection Law and meets the requirements to apply for environmental permits from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change (MECC) prior to commencing project execution. Our environmental assessment guidelines define the requirements and methodologies for undertaking environmental impact identification and assessment studies.
To support capital projects, QatarEnergy also has guidelines in place for developing and preparing environmental management plans for both construction and operational activities. Furthermore, operation of assets in Qatar requires a Consent to Operate (CTO) license from MECC. We have corporate procedures in place to undertake compliance assessments to fulfil MECC''s requirements and conditions to obtain the CTO.
As part of EMS, QatarEnergy has corporate standards for the management of water resources, requirements for air quality monitoring using Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (CEMS) and guidelines to monitor and report GHG and pollutant emissions impacting air quality. Our corporate standards, procedures and guidelines on waste management support efforts to promote circular practices within QatarEnergy. Collectively, all elements of the EMS at QatarEnergy are pivotal in ensuring that we achieve the ambitions related to environmental action laid out in our sustainability strategy and support the environmental targets stipulated within NDS 3.

Applus+ through Enertis -its solar and energy storage specialist- provides a wide range of consulting and engineering solutionsin energy storage, including testing, battery storage regulations assessment, and maintenance services. These support our clients in identifying the most suitable energy storage solutions and in making informed decisions for their assets by providing analysis, design, programming, modeling, and monitoring services.
We have been in the energy storage market since 2018 and have broad experience in energy projects worldwide.
Energy storage is one of the key elements of the transition toward a sustainable energy model. It provides flexibility to the electricity system because of its ability to guarantee a continuous energy supply in response to variations in energy generation or consumption, and it contributes to the efficient management of electricity networks.
The main energy storage technologies include batteries, thermal energy storage, mechanical energy storage, hydrogen energy storage, and pumped hydropower. A combination of all these technologies will contribute to increasing efficiency in energy management and consumption.
As the competitiveness of battery energy storage systems (BESS) for utility-scale renewable energy projects increases, the expansion of energy storage installations coupled with solar farms and wind projects is on the rise too. Also, incorporating energy storage systems into photovoltaic or wind projects makes it possible to increase the amount of energy injected at each access point and connection to the electricity grid.
Enertis Applus+vast knowledge of the global energy storage industry and of the different and specific battery storage regulations defined in the main markets enables it to offer high-value technical storage consulting and engineering services to our clients.
We can support the full life cycle of energy storage or solar plus storage project, from initial development to construction and commissioning. Among the main services provided are:
Qatar Energy''s Sustainability Strategy is governed by three mains references, Qatar National Vision 2030, United Nation''s Sustainable Development Goals, and the Paris Agreement. It relies on several main pillars: to develop a low carbon energy department, to reduce emissions to compensate for residual emissions, and to preserve the company''s leading position in the LNG sector.
Prince Decree 2/2017 transferred the responsibilities of the national oil and gas committee in Qatar to Qatar Energy, known back then as Qatar Petroleum.
