School of Engineering and Materials Science Queen Mary, University of London London, United Kingdom Supervisor: Professor T. Alexander (publishes as T. Korakianitis) Secondary Supervisor: Professor R. J. Crookes 1 In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful (Quran 1:1). Corruption has appeared throughout the land and sea by [reason of] what the hands of people have earned so He may let them taste part of [the consequence of] what they have done that perhaps they will return [to righteousness] (Quran 30:41). Indeed, we offered the Trust to the heavens and the earth and the mountains, and they declined to bear it and feared it; but man [undertook to] bear it. Indeed, he was unjust and ignorant (Quran 33:72). He said, "O my people, have you considered: if I am upon clear evidence from my Lord and He has provided me with a good provision from Him? And I do not intend to differ from you in that which I have forbidden you; I only intend reform as much as I am able. And my success is not but through Allah. Upon him I have relied, and to Him I return (Quran 11:88). 2 Dedication and Memoriam He is the Ever-Living; there is no deity except Him, so call upon Him, [being] sincere to Him in religion. [All] praise is [due] to Allah, Lord of the worlds (Quran 40:65). I dedicate this work to the loving memory of my father, Dr. Youssef M. S. Mansouri (1938-2009), who saw, inspired and supported the start of this work but has passed away before it was complete. May Allah’s mercy be upon him and may my work reach him. I dedicate this work to my mother Zohour Mukhtar and my husband Ammar Yousef. 3 Acknowledgement In such an endeavour, one is invariably indebted to many individuals who have provided assistance and contributed with invaluable support, without which this work would have not been possible.

There is a broad consensus that climate change is happening and that it is as a result of anthropogenic carbon emissions, primarily from burning fossil fuels. This raises concern for the future of our carbon-based world energy and world economy, particularly with economies heavily dependent on oil, such as Saudi Arabia. This dissertation aims to answer the question: How could Saudi Arabia, given its oil-based economy and vast oil reserves, respond to the challenges of climate change and the world’s transitioning towards environmental sustainability, and away from fossil fuels. Two studies have been conducted, a quantitative study and a qualitative study. The first study examined the Saudi energy sector, 40 life cycle assessment (LCA) studies on both carbon capture and storage (CCS) and solar photovoltaic (Solar PV) were used to create 12 scenarios for 3 growth cases from year 2010 to 2025. Results showed massive reductions in carbon dioxide emissions in all scenarios. The second study examined the economy of Saudi Arabia, using 30 interviews with participants from across the economy, to materialise the Saudi national system of innovation. Major forces of the economy and their relationships have been identified and discussed. Using both studies, transition paths of the Saudi NSI towards a sustainable and cleaner energy economy were then constructed and discussed. A Saudi sustainable carbon management ‘system of innovation’ (SSCMSI) was proposed. Given Saudi Arabia’s heavy dependence on oil, which characterised its NSI fabric, constructing an NSI around its energy sector was important. The proposed SSCMSI role includes: accelerating innovation in the energy sector, encouraging energy efficiency, accelerating the use of renewable energy, improving market conditions, supporting technology transfer from advanced economies, utilising international cooperation and mobilizing private sector investment in energy. 6 Table of Content Dedication and Memoriam 3 Acknowledgement 4 List of Acronyms and Abbreviations 12 List of Figures 15 List of Tables 22 1 Setting the Scene 25 1.1 Background 26 1.2 Problem Domain 28 1.2.1 Problem Statement 30 1.3 Research Questions and Objectives: 30 1.3.1 Research Questions 30 1.3.2 Research Objectives: 31 1.4 Methodology 32 1.5 Structure of the Thesis 32 1.6 Expected Contributions 35 1.6.1 Methodological Contributions 35 1.6.2 Theoretical Contributions 35 1.6.3 Empirical Contributions 35 2 Climate Change 37 2.1 Historical Origins 38 2.2 The Greenhouse Effect 39 2.2.1 The Global Carbon Cycle 40 2.2.2 Global Warming 43 2.3 Key Indicators of Climate Change 44 2.3.1 Sea Level 44 2.3.2 Arctic Sea Ice 45 2.3.3 Carbon Dioxide Concentration 46 2.3.4 Global Average Temperature 47 2.3.5 Ozone Hole 48 2.3.6 Other Observed Changes 48 2.4 Projections of Climate Change and its impacts 49 2.4.1 Fresh Water 49 7 2.4.2 Ecosystems 50 2.4.3 Food 50 2.4.4 Coastal systems 50 2.5 Causes of Climate Change 50 2.6 Critics of Climate Change 52 2.7 Direct impacts on Saudi Arabia 54 2.7.1 Sea level rise 55 2.7.2 Water and Food 56 2.7.3 Other projected climatic changes: 57 2.8 Main International Environmental Treaties on Climate Change 60 2.8.1 Kyoto Protocol 60 2.8.2 Bali Roadmap 60 2.9 Islamic Principles and Saudi Arabia’s stance on climate change 61 3 The Saudi Arabian Economy and Its Energy Sector 64 3.1 Introduction 65 3.2 Country profile 65 3.3 The Importance of Saudi Arabia in the World Economy 66 3.3.1 World’s Energy Superpower 67 3.4 The Energy Sector

  • Saudi-Yemen Airspace Update Written by David Mumford | 17 March, 2021
    Saudi-Yemen Airspace Update written by David Mumford | 17 March, 2021 Houthi drone and missile attacks on targets in Saudi Arabia are increasing. These continue to be a persistent threat to ops to Saudi airports, and for overflights of the OEJD/Jeddah FIR. The most significant risk is in the south of the country along the border with Yemen, but OERK/Riyadh and OEJN/Jeddah airports have also been targeted several times over the past year. OEJN/Jeddah Airport closed temporarily on March 7 following multiple attempted drone attacks. Saudi media reported dozens of drones were intercepted in their airspace, and the US Embassy also issued a statement. OERK/Riyadh Airport was targeted in June 2020 and again in October. Much of the information comes from state media and cannot always be independently verified. Back in 2017, a New York Times investigation suggested that at least one of the most high-profile attacks from that year may not have been “shot-down” or intercepted by Saudi defense systems at all. Saudi Arabia Airspace Risk Long-standing airspace warnings are in place for Saudi Arabia, although the US has not issued any so far. Germany and Canada warn of a risk to landing anywhere in the country, but particularly along the border with Yemen in the southwest part of the OEJD/Jeddah FIR. France has issued similar advice, with the specific warning not to operate to OEAB/Abha, OEGN/Jazan, OENG/Nejran, OESH/Sharurah, OEWD/Wadi Al Dawasir and OEBH/Bisha airports.

  • Saudi 28 Pages & 911 Report 14.9.16
    Saudi Arabia and 9/11: Establishing the Truth Behind the Release of the 28 Pages and the “Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act” By Anthony H. Cordesman Update: September 14, 2016 Please provide comments to [email protected] Cover: DoD photo by Master Sgt. Ben Bloker, U.S. Air Force Saudi Arabia and the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Attack 14/9/16 2 Saudi Arabia and the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act President Obama has made it clear that he intends to veto the legislation the House passed on September 9, 2016 that would allow families of those killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to sue Saudi Arabia for any role its officials played in the terrorist attack. He should veto the bill and the Congress should pause and not override that veto. It is all too easy to understand anger the families and survivors of those who were victims on 9/11 feel, and the desire they have to find someone to punish and blame and for some compensation for their losses. It is equally easy to understand the mixed motives of a Congress caught up in the politics of tenth anniversary of the attack, an election year, and the desire not to seem soft on terrorism. Saudi Arabia is also one of America’s most difficult strategic partners for Americans to understand, and its progress, reforms, and strategic importance are often badly understated. It is easier to focus on the fact it is an Islamic state at a time when extremist threats like ISIS, Al Qaida, and the Taliban, than deal with the complicated security issues in the Gulf region and the fact the U.S.

  • Briefing Paper
    European Multinationals briefing paper Yemen: Fear of Failure Ginny Hill Middle East and North Africa Programme | January 2010 | MENAP BP 2010/01 Summary points Yemen presents a potent combination of problems for policy-makers confronting the prospect of state failure in this strategically important Red Sea country. It is the poorest state in the Arab world, with high levels of unemployment, rapid population growth and dwindling water resources. President Saleh faces an intermittent civil war in the north, a southern separatist movement and resurgent terrorist groups. Following the 2009 merger of al-Qaeda in Yemen and Saudi Arabia, Yemen has become the new centre of gravity for al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. The underlying drivers for future instability are economic. The state budget is heavily dependent on revenue from dwindling oil supplies. Yemen’s window of opportunity to shape its own future and create a post-oil economy is narrowing. Western governments need to work towards an effective regional approach with the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council, in particular Saudi Arabia. Future instability in Yemen could expand a lawless zone stretching from northern Kenya, through Somalia and the Gulf of Aden, to Saudi Arabia. Piracy, organized crime and violent jihad would escalate, with implications for the security of shipping routes, the transit of oil through the Suez Canal and the internal security of Yemen’s neighbours. This is an updated version of the Briefing Paper published in November 2008 (MEP BP 08/03). www.chathamhouse.org.uk Yemen: Fear of Failure page 2 The situation in Yemen: January 2010 update In the 14 months since the first edition of this Briefing Paper was written, the challenges facing Yemen have intensified.

  • Variability of Wintertime Surface Air Temperature Over the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia
    Atmospheric and Climate Sciences, 2012, 2, 307-321 http://dx.doi.org/10.4236/acs.2012.23028 Published Online July 2012 (http://www.SciRP.org/journal/acs) Variability of Wintertime Surface Air Temperature over the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Hosny Mohamed Hasanean, Abdel Rahman Khalaf Al-Khalaf Department of Meteorology, Faculty of Meteorology, Environment, and Arid Land Agriculture, King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, KSA Email: [email protected], [email protected] Received January 22, 2012; revised March 17, 2012; accepted April 17, 2012 ABSTRACT Variability of wintertime surface air temperature (SAT) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) is studied. The study is based on time series over thirty one years in length (1978-2008). For the analysis, we use the coefficient of variability (COV) Mann-Kendal statistical test, running mean and cumulative annual mean (CAM). The coefficient of variability (COV) for wintertime SAT decreases gradually from the north to the south of KSA. The higher values for COV occur in northern and northeastern KSA; there are due to the effect of the traveling Mediterranean depressions and their inter- action with the inverted-V shape trough of the Sudan low. The relationship between COV and latitude is highly signifi- cant, while with longitude it is not significant. The Mann-Kendal statistical test illustrates that positive trends (warming) in wintertime SAT series occurs over the all stations, and that the trends are significant at middle and southern regions of KSA. Recent warming has only occurred during the last two decades at most stations. While cooling in the winter- time SAT appears for the short period of about 5 years, 1978-1983 and 1988-1992.

  • Neolithic Period, North-Western Saudi Arabia
    NEOLITHIC PERIOD, NORTH-WESTERN SAUDI ARABIA Khalid Fayez AlAsmari PhD UNIVERSITY OF YORK ARCHAEOLOGY SEPTEMBER 2019 Abstract During the past four decades, the Neolithic period in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) had received little academic study, until recently. This was due to the previous widely held belief that the Arabian Peninsula had no sites dating back to this time period, as well as few local researchers and the scarcity of foreign research teams. The decline in this belief over the past years, however, has led to the realisation of the importance of the Neolithic in this geographical part of the world for understanding the development and spread of early farming. As well as gaining a better understanding of the cultural attribution of the Neolithic in KSA, filling the chronological gaps in this historical era in KSA is vital, as it is not well understood compared to many neighbouring areas. To address this gap in knowledge, this thesis aims to consider whether the Northwest region of KSA was an extension of the Neolithic developments in the Levant or an independent culture, through presenting the excavation of the Neolithic site of AlUyaynah. Despite surveys and studies that have been conducted in the KSA, this study is the first of its kind, because the site "AlUyaynah", which is the focus of this dissertation, is the first excavation of a site dating back to the pre-pottery Neolithic (PPN). Therefore, the importance of this study lies in developing an understanding of Neolithic characteristics in the North-Western part of the KSA. Initially, the site was surveyed and then three trenches were excavated to study the remaining levels of occupation.
