The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is launching its Green Hydrogen project, which it has implemented in cooperation with Expo 2020 Dubai and Siemens Energy.

The Green Hydrogen project aims to produce hydrogen using solar energy. It has been implemented at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park (MBR Solar Park), which is the largest single-site solar park in the world with a planned capacity of 5,000 megawatts (MW) by 2030.

DEWA has a strategic partnership with Siemens which dates back more than 30 years, especially in technological solutions for energy production, and other areas including R&D activities in energy technologies, energy production, and energy storage, as well as smart grids.

The managing director and chief executive officer of DEWA, HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, said that the Green Hydrogen project is the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa.

DEWA's approach is based on scientific foundations and pilot projects, including the green hydrogen pilot project, which will build national capabilities and competencies, and will promote the development of green hydrogen projects in the UAE.

The project is being developed in line with the model DEWA adopted in the projects of the MBR Solar Park, wherein DEWA
