Qatar's energy policy in the field of renewable energy

Qatar has abundant oil and gas reserves and has made extensive investments in renewable energy according to the zero-carbon policy in recent years. Renewable energy is vital for Qatar, and many investments and plans have been made in this country. Therefore, this article examines Qatar's energy policy in renewable energy using a mixed quantitative-qualitative methodology. In this article, an attempt has been made to answer the question, what is Qatar's energy policy in the field of renewable energy? As a hypothesis, Qatar's energy policy has changed from dependence on non-renewable energies to using and developing renewable energies to stabilize its energy security in the coming decades. Also, the theoretical framework of energy security has been used to test the hypothesis. The research findings indicate that Qatar has also adopted this policy due to the significant changes in the orientation of developed and developing countries towards new energies. Like many Persian Gulf countries, Qatar's policies have been aimed at reducing carbon. With extensive investments and long-term planning until 2030, Qatar can become a model country in the Middle East region in terms of renewable energy. This issue and fossil fuels give Qatar a special place that can turn Qatar into a fossil and renewable energy hub.
