The incoming president of the UN COP28 summit is at odds with leading environment ministers over how to curb global warming while pushing for the continued long-term use of fossil fuels by capturing their carbon emissions.
Speaking at the end of the two-day Petersberg Climate Dialogue in Berlin, Sultan al-Jaber, who is also the head of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company, said fossil fuels would “continue to play a role in the foreseeable future”.
The world should maintain “all sources of energy”, he said, while reducing emissions by using carbon capture and storage, a technology that has yet to be proven at scale.
