This proposal aims to harvesting and generating sustainable clean source of energy by curbing the harm emissions of CO2. Using hybrid wind and photo-voltaic systems, will lead to an increased production of renewable energy expectation, whereby both sources of renewable energy generation are anticipated to complement each other. The implementation of this low carbon electricity production is seen as a solution to mitigate the environmental impact of non-renewable energy sources and thus lower CO2 emissions, hence improving Qatar air quality.

This scientific study proposes a novel design for a photovoltaic (PV) water pumping system specifically tailored for aquaponics systems. Aquaponics is a sustainable farming technique that combines aquaculture (fish farming) with hydroponics (plant cultivation in water). The proposed PV water pumping system aims to address the energy requirements of aquaponics systems while minimizing reliance on conventional energy sources. Parameters such as solar irradiance, water flow rates, and system efficiency are measured and to be analyzed to assess the system's reliability, sustainability, and cost-effectiveness.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 virus has presented a huge challenge to national resources and a race to adapt existing technologies, innovate, and deploy newer ones. The use of thermal imaging has been in particular focus, with the affected cases through the usage of thermal/infrared imaging cameras. Drones equipped with thermal cameras are one of the practical approaches to utilize for monitoring movement and the temperature of the human bodies to minimize, isolate and take appropriate medical actions with suspected Covid-19 cases. In this project drones will be implemented to scan certain premises for suspected Covid-19 cases through the use of digital map to track and scan those who may got affected of the current pandemic crisis. Further to the task of tracking, those affected by this pandemic the drone will be able to fly for local and remote areas to deliver the appropriate Covid-19 vaccines and supply main base vaccine headquarters or stations with the required quantities in a fast, reliable and efficient manner. 

"Residential buildings in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries face the challenge of maintaining comfortable indoor temperatures in
extremely hot weather conditions. This has resulted in a high demand for cooling units, which contribute to significant energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Efforts to reduce buildings energy use and help in decarbonization of residential building in hot desert environments will be addressed in this paper. In many developing countries, the responsibility of selecting air conditioning units (AC) typically falls on the residential homeowner or tenant. Unfortunately, this often results in AC units being chosen based primarily on their cost, rather than their energy efficiency, despite the availability of higher-rated energy star AC units in the global market. To be in line with net zero emission (NZE), an inexpensive solution centered on energy efficiency for the AC unit’s equipment’s manufactures, builders, homeowners, and policy makers without changing building architecture or integrating renewable energy sources, but rather decarbonization of end users will be recommended."
