Friday, April 15, 2022

The generation of electricity from renewable and clean energies “is one of the most important objectives of the National Oil Corporation over the coming years,” Libya’s National Oil Corp. (NOC) has stated. Ongoing objectives include promoting awareness among Libya’s citizenry of the importance of using renewable energies and their contributions to preserve the environment and reduce harmful emissions.

Sponsored by Total Energies, currently work is under way to install solar systems to provide electricity for the following institutions:

– Ben Jawad General Hospital.

– Faculty of Energy Technologies Ajkhara

– Faculty of Engineering and Oil Jalu.

– Tsawa Hospital in the Ataba valley for the operation of medical oxygen plant.

– Ghat General Hospital to operate medical oxygen plant.

The projects emphasize the direction of the NOC and its partners to the use of clean energies, to generate electricity and take advantage of the country’s distinctive location to take advantage of solar energy, as a substitute for fossil fuels and contribute to preserving the environment and reducing emissions as much as possible.

Previously, NOC installed solar systems in a number of hospitals in Rajaban, Zintan and Obari General Hospital, sponsored by Repsol.

Also, the NOC aspires to expand in this field and gradually replace other energy sources at its oil sites and fields. NOC supports specialized educational centers in this field to form young and qualified national cadres, to engage in this promising field and invest in clean and renewable energies.
