Red Sea Global reported that its renewable energy operations prevented nearly 118,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions in 2024. The initiative focuses on integrating clean energy sources to power large scale developments in Saudi Arabia. This reduction highlights the impact of shifting from traditional power sources to solar and other renewables in high growth regions. The project serves as a case study for decarbonizing tourism and infrastructure in the Middle East.

Red Sea Global is claiming 118k tonnes of CO2 avoided for 2024. It is a start, but I want to see the baseline they are using for these calculations.
Agreed. Avoiding emissions is one thing, but what is the actual capacity factor of these plants? If they are relying on heavy storage to hit these numbers, the embedded carbon in the batteries needs to be part of the conversation.
The reporting standard here is the real question. If this is self reported without third party verification, it is just a corporate metric. We need to know if this aligns with international carbon accounting rules.
Avoided emissions are fine, but I wonder how much of this is just efficient building design versus the energy source itself. Usually, the biggest wins are in the envelope, not just the panels.
