Chapter 844 Photovoltaic
One of the main reasons why traditional oil-producing countries in the Middle East like Saudi Arabia are willing to invest in renewable resources such as solar energy is that these countries use the "gifts from God", that is, the rich oil and gas resources stored underground. Become one of the richest countries in the world.
But at the same time, they also understand that fossil energy sources such as oil and natural gas will be exhausted sooner or later, and they are planning for the future. Therefore, their sovereign funds like to invest in new energy and technology fields to allow them to have a future. The foundation of the foundation.
In addition, these Middle Eastern countries have abundant sunlight resources, and like Saudi Arabia, a considerable area of their land is desert. The development of photovoltaic solar energy industry can make full use of these resources.
However, it is precisely for this reason that traditional crystalline silicon solar cells require a large amount of water resources. When investing in the field of photovoltaic solar energy, these water-scarce desert countries pay great attention to the technology of concentrated photovoltaic cells - this type of cells uses optical lenses. to collect large amounts of sunlight to generate electricity.
To date, Middle Eastern members of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) have invested tens of billions of dollars in total to develop solar and other renewable energy sources.
Therefore, United Energy Group is willing to cooperate with these Middle Eastern countries and use their capital investment to conduct research and development of new technologies in the photovoltaic solar industry.
Relatively speaking, the Middle East, as well as the West African region where Kolo is located, has richer sunlight resources than the UK, and is also suitable for investing in photovoltaic solar power generation in the field of renewable resources.
In addition to owning R&D centers and production bases in the UK through the acquisition of photovoltaic and solar-related companies, United Energy Group will also set up their Middle East R&D center in Saudi Arabia or Dubai.
Saudi Arabia is currently the world's second-largest crude oil exporter, after Russia.
"Our domestic oil and gas operations in Saudi Arabia are basically controlled by Saudi Aramco. Therefore, for other capital, using solar energy to fill domestic power needs is a good investment direction..."
After returning to his mansion with Barron, Prince Walid said:
"According to the information I have received, we plan to invest more than US$100 billion to achieve an installed solar power generation capacity of 41GW by 2032!"
It seems that Prince Walid is also very interested in the photovoltaic solar energy industry.
And he also understands that based on the cooperation experience between the two parties, when United Energy Group wants to win this huge order, the best partner in Saudi Arabia will be himself.
This time when he came to Saudi Arabia, Barron did not bring Lamy with him.
Because he understands that with Lamy's age and talent, the most important thing for him now is to hone himself in practice and work, and is not eager to increase his connections in all aspects.
The more expectations are placed on his future, the more he needs to lay a solid foundation at the beginning.
There are many smart people in this world, and there are many who can reach Lamy's level, considering the world's population of more than 7.1 billion.
But being able to achieve achievements that satisfy Barron is actually not just about being smart and having a high IQ. Experience and the way you deal with things are even more important.
Anyway, Lamy is still young and has enough time to hone his abilities in all aspects.
"This car is very good. Do you have any plans to launch a new model?"
We all know that these tycoons in the Middle East like to collect luxury cars, and the Middle East is also an important market for global luxury cars.
Barron did not expect to see a silver Nevera 11 in Prince Walid's garage, which is a new electric supercar launched by Rimac Automobili and Aston Martin at the Frankfurt Motor Show last September.
The Nevera 11 is limited to 99 units worldwide, and each car will have a unique numerical serial number. Prince Walid's Nevera 11 is marked "N05", which means that this is the fifth one to be delivered to customers. The Nevera 11 is already ranked very high.
It can be seen that Prince Walid still likes this supercar and is looking forward to Rimac's new supercar.
"I can reveal in advance that Rimac Automobili will cooperate with McLaren to launch an electric supercar in the second half of this year. There is no doubt that that car will break many records of the Nevera 11. You can pay attention, Your Highness."
At present, British Automotive Group has completed its controlling stake in McLaren Automotive Company. After Rimac Automobili cooperated with Aston Martin to launch two electric supercars and achieved success, McLaren also began to have an interest in electric supercars. Interested, they had already cooperated with Rimac Automobili as early as last year to develop a new electric supercar.
"Then I will look forward to it very much, Your Highness the Duke."
"In addition, this summer there will be an electric sports car race in England. This will be the first time. I hope to invite you and your friends to watch it."
"Really? That's great. Don't forget to let me know when the time comes."
An interesting thing to mention is that because electric supercars are driven by electric motors, they are very quiet when driving compared to gasoline cars.
However, the most favorite thing for these wealthy people who drive supercars is to step on the accelerator and use the sound waves to "blast the street".
If it is too quiet, it will definitely feel like something is missing.
Therefore, these electric supercars launched by Rimac will have special external speakers, and users are equipped with a variety of sound effects when they leave the factory, which allows them to drive electric supercars with a similar feeling to traditional gasoline supercars.

At this time in London, Kate looked at the two red lines on the test paper in her hand and needed to take a deep breath to calm down her emotions.
After marrying Prince William, she moved into Kensington Palace, where the royal family lived.
However, with some recent physical conditions, she couldn't help but think of a situation...
Sure enough, after secretly buying the test paper, she finally basically confirmed her guess.
But...
Kate began to recall the few times she met Barron after her marriage... The most recent one was when he returned to London in early February.
In terms of time, it shouldn't be his...
Although she came to this conclusion, Kate was still a little uneasy.
After all, if the royal family, including William, knew that she was pregnant, then the direction of this matter...
No matter what, she must follow the royal process to do some tests.
She can't bear the consequences of that...
The key is that Barron is not in London now...
"It shouldn't be, because the time doesn't match..."
I have to say that she really regrets not being tougher on the other party after that.
