In this article, we will discuss Israel’s focus on climate change issues and its call for unified action. We will also review some technological innovations developed by Israel in the field of climate change and how they can help address some of the acute environmental problems in the Middle East. We will talk about the importance of collaboration and teamwork in developing these innovations and scaling them up. Finally, we will discuss the economic opportunities that arise in this field and how companies and investors can benefit from them.
Intensive Hydrogen Technology
Intensive hydrogen technology is one of the technological innovations developed by Israel in the field of climate change. Hydrogen is considered a renewable energy source that helps reduce dependence on fossil fuels. However, hydrogen is highly flammable and difficult to transport. However, the Israeli company Electriq Global has developed a solid hydrogen carrier called KBH4, which is non-flammable and safe for transportation. It can be used off-grid and converts to a liquid form at the push of a button through an integrated launch unit.
Turning Waste into Plastic
Turning everyday waste into plastic is one of Israel’s innovations in the field of climate change. Eleven tons of carbon dioxide emissions are saved for every ton of plastic produced from converted waste, as untreated waste quickly turns into a source of methane, a key component of natural gas and responsible for one-third of the global warming we are currently witnessing.
Water and Humidity Model
The water model based on Israeli technology is one of the innovative solutions in the field of climate change. This model takes moisture from the air and instantly converts it into water. This will be particularly beneficial for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries that suffer from hot and humid conditions and face an increasing water shortage, accompanied by desertification and increased soil salinization due to climate change, population growth, urbanization, industry, and agriculture.
Lab-Grown Meat
The lab-grown meat industry is another area being studied by Israel to reduce dependence on food imports in GCC countries. Currently, Gulf countries import up to 85% of their food from abroad. Israel is the second country in the world after the United States in producing lab-grown meat, which uses only about 5% of the emissions generated from real meat production. According to Bahar, this is also a means of addressing food insecurity in the region.
In summary, Israel’s focus on climate change issues and its call for unified action reflects its commitment to achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement. By developing technology and innovations in the field of climate change, Israel can contribute to solving some of the acute environmental problems in the Middle East and providing new economic opportunities. It is important to foster cooperation and collaboration between countries and companies to scale these innovations and achieve a real positive impact in the field of climate change.
