انتهاء عصر النفط في 2035…

The global shift away from fossil fuels towards clean and renewable energy sources such as electricity is not just a trend but a fundamental transformation expected to drastically reduce the demand for oil and gas by 2035. Yemen possesses one of the largest untapped geological reserves in the region, rich not only in oil and gas but also in rare minerals that could potentially revitalize its economy. However, this remarkable treasure under Yemen’s soil is increasingly vulnerable due to ongoing political instability and external interference from regional actors like Saudi Arabia and the UAE. This geopolitical fragmentation worsens Yemen’s ability to develop and protect its natural resources. The delay in exploiting these deposits means that by the time the world fully transitions away from fossil fuels, Yemen risks losing the economic benefits that these resources could have provided. This could cement a future of economic stagnation or decline unless proactive measures are taken. To capitalize on its wealth, Yemen needs a stable and unified approach to resource management, including investments in infrastructure, governance, and security to ensure sustainable extraction and export processes. Additionally, diversifying the economy and gradually introducing renewable energy sectors can prepare Yemen for a post-oil era. Recognizing the time-sensitive nature of this transition is key to avoiding the economic perils of 2035. Understanding the global context, countries across the world are investing heavily in electric vehicles, renewable energy technologies, and advanced battery storage, which diminish fossil fuel dependency. Yemen’s future economic security depends on how it navigates these geopolitical challenges and whether it can harness its resources effectively before the global energy landscape changes irreversibly.
