The findings of this report show that by investing more on renewable energy and by scaling down planned natural gas thermal power plants capacity the government will save money in addition to saving lives and tackling pollution problems.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Julien Jreissati, Campaigner at Greenpeace MENA, declared \u201cour analysis clearly shows that by favoring renewable energy over natural gas the Ministry of Energy will not only be able to provide 24h of cleaner and safer electricity, but cheaper as well!\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Greenpeace MENA analysis demonstrates that by reaching a 31.2% share of renewable energy in electricity consumption by 2026, profit for the public utility, \u2018Electricit\u00e9 du Liban\u2019, will increase by at least 14% compared to the ministry plan.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the report focuses solely on technical and economical perspectives, the environmental and public health benefits of switching to renewables are undeniable and will also lead to indirect economic benefits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIt would be suicidal for a country like Lebanon, suffering from rampant air pollution and economic difficulties but also with great solar potential, to turn its back to renewable energy&#8221; continued Jreissati.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The report includes a number of recommendations that focuses on a faster and more significant deployment of renewable energy across the country. The report also recommends to reduce the overall projected thermal plant capacities by 740 MW which would be equivalent to scraping off the new Zouk power plant and downsizing the new Jieh power plant by 35% thus reducing the air pollution that they would generate. A previous report released by Greenpeace in 2018 ranked jounieh as the 5th most polluted city in the Arab World\u00a0 in terms of NOx pollution notably due to the emission generated by the Zouk power plant among other sources.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Ministry of Energy will release a renewable energy roadmap in September to achieve Lebanon\u2019s commitment of reaching 30% renewable energy by 2030.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cWe urge the ministry of energy to take the right and brave decision of replacing some planned thermal power capacity with renewable energy in order to achieve the ambitious goal of 30% renewable energy by 2030\u201d concluded Jreissati.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Note to editor<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">:<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The full report can be found <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenpeace.org\/static\/planet4-mena-stateless\/2019\/07\/3b78f740-no-more-excuses-en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The photos can be found <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/media.greenpeace.org\/collection\/27MZIFJ8J04UN\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">here<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For more information about this press release you can contact:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"mailto:dania.cherry@greenpeace.org\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">dania.cherry@greenpeace.org<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We urge the ministry of energy to take the right and brave decision of backtracking and replacing some planned thermal power capacity with renewable energy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":4797,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_planet4_optimize_post_is_variant":false,"_planet4_optimize_experiment_name":"","_planet4_optimize_variant_name":"","ep_exclude_from_search":false,"p4_og_title":"","p4_og_description":"","p4_og_image":"","p4_og_image_id":"","p4_seo_canonical_url":"","p4_campaign_name":"","p4_local_project":"","p4_basket_name":"","p4_department":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[],"p4-page-type":[97],"class_list":["post-4781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized","p4-page-type-press-release"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
