"This is a conventional vehicle. Cars usually have a combustion engine, where your fuel is being combusted to produce a mechanical energy. That lets the car move. Basically what we did, we added a system that will capture the CO2 from the exhaust gas. The system is consists of three components, CO2 capture - where we are using solvents to capture the CO2 - and compression and storage system to compress the CO2 and store it on board the vehicle."

"The idea that we are working on is to convert the CO2 into fuel additives as well, so you may use it within the station. So if you convert it into for example ethanol, or alcohol, or oxygenate fuels then you can use it for, within the station, to upgrade your petrol at the station - or your diesel."

The first of them is awareness, we are publishing and make speeches about Tarsheed and the conservations and the second one is legal section, they (government of Qatar) give funds for some actions - like for example if someone turn the light, the outdoor light, on on the day time. The third section is the technology, Tarsheed. Technology, the conservation technology is to change the LED bulb with the halogen or the normal and the fluorescent also is good. This is one of the things they do. The third thing is renewable energy, we are trying now to set up solar energy and wind energy."

And electricity (consumption) 20 per cent. Until 2014, which is two years (after the beginning), thank God, we have (reduced) 11 per cent of energy, and 11 per cent of water consumption, so we are on our right way."

Middle Eastern and North African countries have been doing their bit at on the fringes of the COP 21 negotiations in Paris.
The 'Solutions Gallery' aims to showcase the latest innovative ways to reduce carbon emissions from across the globe.
STORY-LINE
It looks like a very ordinary white car.
But it promises something very different.
From its boot, the car captures CO2 emissions and stores it.
It's been devised by Saudi Aramco, the Kingdom's state-owned oil company.
The product is on show as part of the 'Solution's Gallery' on the sidelines of COP 21 currently taking place in Paris.
Here companies, industries and countries are showing off their innovative green ideas and credentials.
Project Manager at Saudi Aramco, Hashim Mohammed Al-Sada, explains the process behind the carbon-reducing car.
"This is a conventional vehicle. Cars usually you have a combustion engine, where your fuel is being combusted to produce a mechanical energy. That lets the car move."
"Basically what we did, we added a system that will capture the CO2 from the exhaust gas. This system is consisted of three components, CO2 capture - where we are using solvents to capture the CO2 - and compression and storage systems to compress the CO2 and store it on board of the vehicle," he says.
This system is able to capture 30 per cent of the CO2 emitted by a car no matter how long it has been on the road.
But Al-Sada hopes to improve on that number in the future.
"The idea that we are working on is to convert the CO2 into fuel additives as well, so you may use it within the station. So if you convert it into for example ethanol, or alcohol, or oxygenate fuels then you can use it for, within the station, to upgrade your petrol at the station - or your diesel."
The company believes their prototype could be a good alternative to electric cars and hope to be selling soon.
Qatar's stand is showcasing the government-run Tarsheed company.
It distributes electricity and water to the country.
And it's now coming up with ways to reduce energy consumption.
"We have four sections. Each section has a way to make the conservation," explains engineer Fahad Al-Muhaish.
"The first of them is awareness, we are publishing and make speeches about Tarsheed and the conservations and the second one is legal section, they (government of Qatar) give funds for some actions - like for example if someone turn the light, the outdoor light, on on the day time."
"The third section is the technology, Tarsheed. Technology, the conservation technology is to change the LED bulb with the halogen or the normal and the fluorescent also is good. This is one of the things they do. The third thing is renewable energy, we are trying now to set up solar energy and wind energy."
They have several ongoing projects including the opening of a centre to educate about energy conservationism.
Al-Muhaish says they have given themselves five years to reach their targets.
"We try to reduce our consumption of electricity and water. And we have a number which is in 2017, we started from 2012, so in those five years we want to reduce the water (consumption) 35 per cent. And electricity (consumption) 20 per cent."
"Until 2014, which is two years (after the beginning), thank God, we have (reduced) 11 per cent of energy, and 11 per cent of water consumption, so we are on our right way."
Morocco is also experimenting with different ways to become more energy efficient.
Nezha Larhrissi, Morocco's Minister of Energy is at the summit.
"Today we have the collective energy at a national level to come up with a structure for waste management, starting with collecting, sorting and providing the adequate social conditions for street recycle-persons who do a very important job regarding the environment and that too, is something that we're presenting here."
"It shows the Environment ministry has put in place a closed circuit from the manufacturers that create a product through to the manufacturers who recycle these products."
The country has set itself ambitious targets.
"Our ambition with this amazing renewable energy project - not only solar but also wind and hydraulic power - is to reach a self-sufficiency level of 42 per cent by 2020 and get ready to export that energy," says Larhrissi.
Morocco will host COP22 next year.
