Qatar’s Move Towards Implementing the ‘Green Car’ Initiative
As part of the country’s ‘Green Car Initiative’, launched by Kahramaa, QEERI is helping Qatar tackle climate change by creating a more environmentally-friendly transportation sector. The introduction of electric vehicles in Qatar is driven by the need to substantially reduce energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in line with national commitments under the 2015 Paris Agreement. In working toward achieving this goal, Qatar is targeting a 20% share of electric vehicles on its roads by 2030.
