RIYADH: The Mishkat Interactive Center for Atomic and Renewable Energy is hosting an event with the aim of educating visitors on the importance of renewable energy, energy science, and Vision 2030’s sustainable development goals, which intend to supply the Kingdom with clean energy sources.
The center launched “Renewable” on May 26 in Riyadh, one of a series of activities that come as a part of Mishkat Evenings. The center opens its doors from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m., and the event will last until June 1.
Mishkat is an initiative of the King Abdullah City for Atomic and Renewable Energy, an independent scientific, research, and governmental organization led by the Saudi Ministry of Energy. It was established in April 2010 with the goal of leading the drive for sustainable energy.
Abeer Al-Rasheedi, a public relations specialist at Mishkat, said that the goal of “Renewable” is to raise community awareness about the “importance of renewable energy and how it affects the Kingdom.”
Other similar events that took place at the center included “Zero,” also dedicated to sustainability, which highlighted the importance of sustainable energy to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060.
