Desert Control is using UAE's desert as a testing ground for their natural clay liquid, which is nearly as thin as water

Norwegian start-up Desert Control claims  it can efficiently fight desertification  by spraying sand with Liquid NanoClay (LNC) and turning it into soil in a matter of hours. Fighting desertification for decades, using everything from tensile shrubs to tree barriers, but now a new company claims it's getting much better results in just seven hours under the same harsh conditions. Invented by Norwegian scientist Kristian Olesen in the early 2000s, Liquid NanoClay is the secret behind Desert Control's amazing achievements. When this amazing invention is sprinkled on sand, it drips and filters the sand, turning it into water-retaining soil for plants to germinate and thrive.

Desert Control is currently targeting the United Arab Emirates, a rich market that currently imports about 90 percent of its food because it is very difficult to grow anything in this desert environment. The technology is  already proven, turning arid desert into dirt, but there are still cost constraints. CNN reports that treatment costs range from $2 to $5 per square meter (11 square feet), which isn't exactly cheap considering the vast acreage that 

 needs to treat with Liquid NanoClay  for agricultural projects to make sense , are not cheap. However, Desert Control plans to develop facilities capable of producing large quantities of liquid NanoClay, which would significantly reduce the price.

  In recent events, the UAE has emerged as a major mediator in the negotiation of a large prisoner exchange between Russia and Ukraine. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, thanks to sophisticated negotiations brokered by the UAE, 248 Russian prisoners of war have been safely returned to Russia from Ukraine. At the same time, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy announced the return of over 200 Ukrainian captives from Russia.

The United Arab Emirates had successfully brokered the prisoner swap between Russia and Ukraine. Recently, the two countries announced that they would be swapping 206 prisoners of war as part of a critical exchange that is easing the tension between the two nations. It naturally makes the UAE play an important role here-the country is slowly moving up to be a neutral mediator in matters of international importance. The UAE, by arranging this exchange, proved not only its diplomatic excellence but also its commitment to humanitarian work amidst conflicts. This development is to be taken much more seriously considering the protracted and highly complex Russia-Ukraine conflict. The successful holding of this prisoner swap has been interpreted as a ray of hope for further negotiations and de-escalation. It also suggests an interesting new role for neutral third parties in resolving international disputes. UAE involvement indeed highlights their strategic approach to foreign policy while fo...

Masdar's Practical Strategy for Indonesia's Renewable Growth

  President Jokowi is behind the idea to inaugurate the Cirata solar farm, which is a daring step for Indonesia into the solar energy spotlight. The project, a joint venture between Masdar in the United Arab Emirates and PLN in Indonesia, highlights the country's ability to undertake utility-scale solar projects.  At a cost of more than IDR 1.7 trillion, Cirata is an important proof of concept for Indonesia's solar goals. Masdar's participation—it owns 49% of the company—demonstrates a strategic partnership with a financially secure partner. The project's partnership concept, which depends on PLN as an equity partner, defies conventional market logic even if it is in line with international efforts to address climate change.    Masdar's accomplishments in Indonesia go beyond Cirata; the company has investments in Solar Radiance and a geothermal subsidiary of Pertamina. Masdar 's comprehension of Indonesia's distinct market dynamics is crucial, as it highligh...
