Prior to this I wrote an article regarding FIFA WORLD CUP 2022, dated 1st November. But today I’m writing this article highlighting the contributions of Pakistan in FIFA 2022.
It is the 1st time in the history of FIFA World Cup, that its being hosted by a Muslim country. Other Muslim states contributed greatly in FIFA preparations and arrangements especially Pakistan’s contribution in providing match footballs. Then Pakistan was amongst the leading contributer in security forces especially armed forces troops. Apart from this Reon Energy Pakistan power manufacturing company with the collaboration of Red Co, effectively installed many solar panels in Qatar stadium for generating reasonable units of electricity.

Herewith I’m attaching an article regarding the use of solar energy in Qatar to reduce the carbon emissions.
The Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy (SC) has announced that carbon savings from Qatar’s new 800 MW solar power plant will be used to offset approximately half the emissions generated from the country’s hosting of the FIFA World Cup™.

The Al Kharsaah Solar PV Independent Power Producer Project will commit 1.8m tons of carbon savings to Qatar 2022. The plant opened in October and will help to considerably reduce Qatar’s carbon footprint. The project covers 10km – the equivalent of 1,400 football pitches. During its first year of operation, it is expected to generate almost 2,000,000 MWh, the equivalent energy consumption of approximately 55,000 Qatari households.

A report published in 2021 estimated that Qatar 2022 would generate about 3.6m tons of carbon emissions. Data will be collected during the tournament to update the carbon inventory report and adjust the offsetting strategy accordingly. While about 50% of the emissions will be compensated by savings from the solar power plant, the SC will source an additional 1.5m tons through carbon-offsetting projects approved by the Global Carbon Council.

The SC, in collaboration with FIFA and Q22, has prioritised climate action over the past 12 years, as detailed in the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ Sustainability Strategy. Tournament organisers have committed to delivering a carbon-neutral event – helped by a comprehensive range of initiatives, including free public transport for fans and officials, no domestic flights, green building practices, extensive recycling and composting, and electric vehicles.
