DOHA: Qatar participated in the 6th Ministerial Conference of the Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF), being held in Riyadh, under the patronage of Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia.
Qatar’s delegation to the meeting is headed by H E Dr Mohammed bin Saleh Al Sada (pictured), Minister of Energy and Industry.
Senior energy and environmental officials and experts from 22 countries are in attendance at CSLF which is taking place one month ahead of the UN Climate Change Conference (COP 21) in Paris.
The event is a ministerial-level international climate change initiative focused on the development of improved, cost-effective technologies for the separation and capture of carbon dioxide (CO2) for its transport, utilisation and long-term safe storage.
The Qatari delegation is also set to participate in the 41st meeting of GCC industrial cooperation committee which will kick off today in Riyadh.
Speaking in Saudi capital Riyadh, Kuwait’s Oil Minister Ali Al Omair said he agrees with recent remarks by Qatar’s energy minister that oil prices had bottomed.
“Yes I agree with him(Dr Al Sada), because now for two to three months, the prices don’t go down. So may be yes, they are at the bottom”, Reuters reported.
