Leading experts to debate Mena green hydrogen at MEE

The future of energy transition in Mena and the avenues for green hydrogen, whose annual GCC revenues could grow to $200 billion and support over one million jobs by 2050, will be discussed at the Middle East Energy (MEE) conference.

The Mena region’s most reputable and comprehensive energy event returns to Dubai World Trade Centre from March 7 to 9 welcoming senior energy leaders, policymakers. An array of international hydrogen experts will convene at MEE to discuss the exciting prospects for the Mena region to emerge as a global clean hydrogen hub.

A study by Goldman Sachs revealed green hydrogen could meet 25% of global energy requirements in the next 30 years.

Cornelius Matthes, CEO of Dii Desert Energy, will open the green hydrogen discussion at the Global Energy & Utilities Forum (GEUF), one of three dedicated energy conferences taking place at the event, on March 7.

The forum will also host a panel of key figures in the region’s rapidly emerging hydrogen market, including Stephan Gobert, Senior Vice President – Hydrogen AMEA, Engie; Michael Mair, VP Growth and Development (Europe, Middle East & Africa), Wood; Francois Dao, Vice President – Middle East & Africa, EDF Renewables; and Alicia Eastman, President, Inter Continental Energy.
