Masdar city, a city that depends on solar power, has begun construction. The development budget is set to U$ 22 billion, and will rely on carbon income.
There are a lot of advantages to this city, such as saving oil worth U$ 2 billion over the coming 25 years. The new city will also provide 70,000 news jobs or more. Also, Abu Dhabi’s annual GDP will rise more than 2 percent.
With the availability of solar power, the demand for power and power will decrease. Power needed to power the city will be reduced significantly compared with a modern city plant. Water consumption will be decreased to half the amount needed by a conventional city. In addition, Master city won’t need a land fill area.
Masdar Institute of Science and Technology (MIST), is the first step in a seven step plane will be built in Masdar city, which is located by the Abu Dhabi International Airport.
Masdar city is a project which belongs to One Planet Living programme, both these programs are started by World Wildlife Fund. The aim of One Planet Living program is to show that even though there are ecological boundaries, the quality of life won’t be affected by it.
Furthermore, Abu Dhabi’s Government has invested U$15 billion in Masdar city, which is one of the biggest investments in all the Emirates. Finally, since the production of power from December 2007, 5500 Kw Hours of electricity and about 4 tons of carbon dioxide have been saved.
