Decarbonizing Construction: Building a low carbon future

Decarbonization is rapidly gaining momentum as countries and businesses worldwide set ambitious carbon-neutral goals in response to climate change. Today, reducing carbon emissions is high on every industry's agenda, with regulations and market pressure pushing for real progress.

Construction and HVAC are at the center of this shift. Traditional building methods, using lots of steel and cement, generate significant emissions. Older HVAC systems often drain energy and raise buildings’ carbon footprint. Breakthrough technologies and smarter approaches are already being adopted globally, helping to cut project emissions and bring down costs.

Buildings are responsible for approximately 37% of global carbon emissions, with embodied carbon from materials and construction accounting for a significant 16% (Deloitte). In Oman, the building sector alone accounts for over 80% of the country's total electricity consumption (Authority for Public Service Regulation). This highlights the critical need for a paradigm shift in how we design, construct and operate our built environment. As the Sultanate pursues its Net Zero 2050 goals while expanding infrastructure for Vision 2040, every construction decision matters.

Reaching net zero goals is impossible without decarbonizing built environment

Oman's construction landscape is changing fast. The solution isn't just about going green – it's about going smart.

Decarbonization and Efficient Execution Summit Oman 2025 is Oman’s first dedicated platform uniting industry leaders, innovators, policymakers & investors to catalyze real change in how civil infrastructure is designed, built & operated.

Oman under the visionary leadership of His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said has committed to reaching Net Zero Emissions in 2050. With its abundant solar, wind & hydrogen resources, Oman is positioning itself as a key player in the global energy transition and decarbonization efforts.

This summit is a call to action, a catalyst and showcase of transformative technologies and a meeting ground for the brightest minds committed to redefining project delivery to chart a new course for Oman’s civil infrastructure.

The goal is to empower participants with the knowledge, tools and connections necessary to drive meaningful change, accelerate decarbonization efforts and achieve efficient execution in their projects. The summit will present the state-of-the-art in building design, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance as well as emerging new technologies and materials.

Bringing together the expertise, technologies & partnerships needed to transform Oman's construction sector
