DUBAI / WAM

Today, the world is witnessing an increasing demand to invest in clean and renewable energy sources, which will change the global energy scene in the next few years using environmentally friendly and relatively low-cost energy sources.

In line with this global trend, green hydrogen for power generation and supporting development in several vital sectors is increasing. Studies show green hydrogen production will increase by 57 percent annually to reach 5.7 million tonnes in 2030.

The Green Hydrogen project, implemented by Dewa, in collaboration with Expo 2020 Dubai and Siemens Energy at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, is the first in the Middle East and North Africa to produce hydrogen using solar power.

The pilot plant, which spreads over 10,000 square metres, was designed and built to accommodate future applications and testing facilities for different hydrogen uses, including energy generation and transportation.

Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, said that green hydrogen is an environmentally-friendly energy source and represents one of the pillars of a sustainable future for accelerating the transition to carbon neutrality. This supports the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy
