The Middle East Outlook by Carbon3 is here The Gulf is moving to rebuild part of its export model around hydrogen and ammonia. Record-low solar costs are making this possible at a competitive scale.
At the same time, methane rules and buyer expectations around Scope 3 are raising the bar for credibility. Insetting is emerging as one practical way to connect verified reductions to the products that already leave the region.
