Striking a Balance Between Fossil Fuels and Renewables with H.E. Mohammed Hamad Al Rumhy

H.E. Mohammed Hamad Al Rumhy is the former Minister of Oil and Gas for the Sultanate of Oman from 1997 to 2020 and subsequently Minister of Energy and Minerals (2020-2022). H.E. Dr. Al Rumhy spearheaded Oman’s entry into petrochemical and chemical production in the early 2000s.

Key questions:

• How should young Omanis be thinking about their role in the country’s energy and development going forward?
• How will the global energy landscape evolve in the next decade, especially with the push toward renewables?
• How can fossil fuel producing countries like Oman strike a balance between economic dependence on fossil fuels and the urgency of the energy transition?
