Abu Dhabi Masdar City

noreply@blogger.com (Dubai Investments) — Thu, 29 Dec 2011 01:47:01 PST

A new skyscraper-free city in the United Arab Emirates is taking clean technology to heart.A space age, sci-fi Arabian city from the future. Freaky.it's like another planet.That is genius! That's what you call using technology and Sustainability the right way! Go Abu Dhabi! Other countries could take note on how to combine sustaniable development with modern technology and society. Respect! Only problem I have have is that the landscape plants are ornamental and fruit or vegetable producing making them dual purpose to look good and feed the people of the future city.The question is whether this can be built affordably for large numbers of people; building a nice "sustainable" city at incredible cost for wealthy elite is one thing. Doing it for everyone is a much greater challenge.in building all of this, they probably used up all the energy and pollution theyr trying to save for the next 10 yrs.

Solar Island CSEM UAE

noreply@blogger.com (Dubai Investments) — Sun, 18 Dec 2011 07:52:11 PST

Solar Island CSEM UAE

The Solar Island prototype is a Swiss-designed artificial island which has been built in the gulf state of Ras Al Khaimah, in the UAE with the aim of providing a source of clean energy.
The project, a collaboration between Neuchâtel's Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology (CSEM) and the local government. The solution proposed by the centre was to build artificial islands that can sit offshore, where surface is not a problem. To cut costs, the usual solar panels are not be used, but rather a concentrator that heats water running through pipes. The steam is then used to generate electricity. Because of its floating structure, the island could be easily turned to always face the sun, generating maximum power. The prototype has been built with a diameter of 100 metres, one-tenth of the size of an actual solar island. Initial tests have taken place on land, with the island floating on a water channel.

CSEM-UAE History
In the late 2004 The CSEM-UAE was launched as a result of the visionary plans of the government of Ras Al Khaimah in UAE. At that time, H.H. Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qassimi The Crown Prince and Deputy Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah was concerned with accelerating the transformation of the emirate into one of the most exciting business and lifestyle destinations in the region and CSEM Switzerland was concerned with the expansion of its activity to a fast industrial developing regions.

Early 2005, CSEM Switzerland started settling in Ras Al Khaimah, with its Swiss engineers teamed up, local and regional team of specialists joined and CSEM-uae offices and state of art laboratories started. Projects of generic interest to local economy was defined and agreed with Dr. Khather Massaad, Advisor to The Crown Prince & Deputy Ruler of RAK and Chief Executive Officer of Ras Al Khaimah Investment Authority (RAKIA), which funded them.

2006, CSEM-UAE was fully operational and RAKIA started getting significant success in attracting worldwide investments in developing local industries. Fruitful interaction between the CSEM-uae and this local industry started.

2007, the Government of Ras Al Khaimah allocated to CSEM-UAE 87,000 m² of land in the industrial zone to build a world unique Solar R&D facilities which can be open to co-operation with world leading academic, technology and industrial development centers. Solar-Island prototype was proposed. It was designed to evaluate technologies to build cost effective solar power plants.

2008, the construction of a 5,000 m² platform of a Solar-Island demonstrator was achieved; in parallel a Photovoltaic performance test and the Solar thermal centers was built. The Solar Radiation and the weather stations were installed.

2009, the proposal of a new organization focusing on short term projects adding value to local economy was developed. The aim, to reduce the need of electricity produced from fossil energy. The hovering test of the Solar-Island platform was successfully performed.

2010, CSEM-UAE started building Solar Cool Research Center and Solar facilities to develop Solar Insulation Material, Solar Assisted Air Conditioning and Waste Heat or Solar Assisted Water Desalination. The evaluation of projects with carbon credit started. The Solar-Island precision tracking test was successfully performed.

2011, CSEM-UAE successfully tested in Februaryv 2011, the Solar Cooling center with 1 ton of refrigeration and decided its extension to 10 ton of refrigeration.

CSEM-UAE operates from its offices in Al Jazeera Al Hamra and has Solar R&D facilities (Solar-Island platform, Solar Cool center, Photovoltaic performance test center and Thermal R&D center) nearby. Mother company is in Switzerland and Sister Company in Brazil.

CSEM-UAE aims to be one of the best innovation centers worldwide, providing novel applications and solutions to local economy and worldwide customers by developing and using unique Solar and Clean Technology platforms, thus adding value to the results of research and maturing products to regional markets.

Dubai hopes to compete with Heathrow

noreply@blogger.com (Dubai Investments) — Sun, 08 May 2011 01:08:29 PDT

The Dubai International Airport has great ambitions and hopes to compete in terms of number of passengers and flights, with London's Heathrow airport. It hopes to win first place by 2016.

The CEO of Dubai International Airport said the passenger traffic inside the airport is expected to increase by 7.2% annually for the next decade, therefore it will be able to attract about 98, 5 million passengers by 2020. The great growth of the airport is due mostly thanks to the state airlines, including Emirates and Flydubai. Furthermore, in order to meet the growing demand for air travel to these destinations a second airport will open, which is available for cargo flights, but open to passengers by 2012. The new airport will be able to accept about 160 million passengers each year.

Abu Dhabi Yacht Show 25 au 27 fevrier 2010

noreply@blogger.com (Dubai Investments) — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 21:56:10 PST

http://www.yacht-club.fr 2010 Abu Dhabi Yacht Show
http://www.abudhabiyachtshow.com
Abu Dhabi, 15 December, 2009. The 2nd edition of the Abu Dhabi Yacht Show (ADYS), the Middle Easts only annual exhibition devoted to the superyacht and megayacht sectors, is to be staged at the spectacular Yas Marina, which was the glittering backdrop to this years inaugural Formula 1™Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
With only several months remaining until the second Abu Dhabi Yacht Show, news that this elite event will move to the magnificent Yas Marina, on Yas Island, will allow us to showcase the truly world-class leisure marine infrastructure now being developed throughout our emirate. Yas Island is an apt host for the show as it will eventually house multiple marinas, said His Excellency Sheikh Sultan Bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, Chairman, Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA), headline sponsor of Abu Dhabi Yacht Show and Chairman of ADNEC.
The move to Yas Marina, which has deep berthing facilities and significant available berthing slots, was prompted by a need for a vastly expanded dockside venue that can accommodate a bigger edition of the ADYS.
Luxury yacht owners who came to watch the F1 Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix recently can attest to the world-class berthing facilities of Yas Marina; and we expect first-time exhibitors and guests to be similarly impressed. Ideally suited to accommodate super and mega yachts, Yas Marina likewise boasts striking aesthetics, first rate support services and a luxurious cosmopolitan vibe surrounding the bigger Yas Island
development of which the marina is a strategic part, said Franck Dailles, IYG Group Director.
Dailles has confirmed that the new venue is more than adequately equipped to cope with the increased number of exhibitors and yacht entries the 2010 show, which will run from February 25-27, has attracted.
In addition, having considerably enhanced the shows programme, we believe Yas Marinas first-class amenities and facilities will create an inspirational atmosphere to promote meetings, negotiations and overall interaction between exhibition guests, exhibitors, visitors and potential buyers.
Held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Bin Al Nayhan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, ADYS is expected to further cement Abu Dhabis burgeoning reputation as a world-class yachting destination.
Many around the world are now familiar with Yas Marina from the breathtaking television shots and stills photography which circulated globally during the highly successful inaugural Formula 1™ Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The images of fabulous yachts, from which owners, charterers and their guests enjoyed the race action, left lasting, and emphatic impressions and did much to assist the emirates SuperYacht hub aspirations. The fleet of the worlds best SuperYachts expected to attend the yacht show will no doubt realise an equally inspiring vista and again provide a visual image of an international maritime destination in the making, Al Nahyan said.
Yas Island is one of the most highly-prized projects within the portfolio of Aldar Properties, one of Abu Dhabis leading developers. Located strategically off the city of Abu Dhabi, Yas Island is within driving distance of the capital and nearby Dubai, and will feature numerous leisure and recreation attractions, such as a racing circuit, signature hotels, theme parks, marinas, and a golf course, among other world-class facilities.
Covering 115,000 square metres, Yas Marina has 143 berths and can house vessels from 15 metres to 75 metres. Even larger boats those upwards of 130metres can be berthed in facilities alongside Yas Yacht Club, outside the Marina.
Yas Marina welcomed its first vessel the Royal Yacht, MY Rabdan in October, which dropped anchor a few weeks prior to the first Formula 1TM Etihad Airways Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The marina hosted an impressive flotilla of superyachts at the start of November during the motor racing extravaganza and received an exceptionally positive response to its outstanding facilities.
This year, we have also revised the shows layout to ensure all exhibitors have a waterfront presence, a format that will put the spotlight even more on the true stars of the show the stunning super and megayachts that will be anchored at Yas Marina exclusively for the event, added Dailles.
