Masdar City is the world’s first carbon-neutral zero waste city and is head- quarters of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA)… Abu Dhabi, 10 years from now, if all goes according to plan, a city of 6 square kilometers housing 50,000 people will rise in the United Arab Emirates and it will be carbon neutral. The project, called Masdar City, will burn no gas or oil, so its contribution to greenhouse gases will be minimal. Masdar is the centerpiece of emirate Abu Dhabi’s plans to get into the renewable energy market, a hedge against the day its oil wells run dry.
Proto Type car for the city..solar-powered cars would run under the city like a subway system. But McGuigan says the cars wouldn’t run on fixed routes. Basically, they’dl take you anywhere you wanted to go.
…..80 percent of water will be recycled….the first city where waste is converted to energy and reduced to zero….The plan is to build Masdar City in record time. The first buildings are scheduled to be up by the end of next summer….Will wait for that day

The World Future Energy Summit has, this year, attracted more political engagement than ever before with more than 100 government delegations attending. The strong numbers are clear testament to the continued momentum that is building around renewable energy.
The WFES concluded on a high spirit of brightening up the hopes of a better outcome at the ensuing global climate change talks in Mexico, in contrast with results of the Copenhagen Summit. – Courtsey Khaleej Times
