UAE Inaugurates First Green Hydrogen Plant

“This week, in Dubai, we are commissioning the first green hydrogen plant that will be supplying certain buses and cars that will be used during the Expo,” Al Mazrouei told reporters during a press conference on the launch of the World Utilities Congress in Abu Dhabi.

The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) in collaboration with Expo 2020 Dubai and Siemens, is implementing the green hydrogen project, the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa. The project is implemented at the outdoor testing facilities of Dewa’s R&D Centre at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.

The minister also noted that Masdar has started an initiative to also use solar PV (photovoltaic), to produce hydrogen and try to use it in some buses and passenger vehicles in Abu Dhabi as a first stage.
