Review on the energy and renewable energy status in Iraq: The outlooks

An outlook into the country profile at the existing electricity generation with crude oil production at the present level with accompanying gas flares cause CO2 emission as well as the industrial, human activities and the grid electricity distribution has been accounted for. The estimation of solar radiation levels as well as its productivity in terms of photovoltaics (PV׳s), concentrated solar powers (CSP) and chimney towers have been paid for others renewable energies; wind, tidal and geothermal productivity. A selection of possible site for installation according to the given geographical hazard and the maximum solar radiation could be collected. An overview for futuristic demands and possible solar energy supply that could be generated has reviewed. Furthermore, the desalination of underground or polluted water to support the solar system as well as the needed plantation to preserve a clean and green environment and low dust climate is presented.
