“Green hydrogen to reduce costs of producing clean energy” – MEP MiddleEast

The managing director and chief executive officer of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), has emphasised that green hydrogen represents one of the pillars of a sustainable future that depends on accelerating the transition to carbon neutrality in order to support a green economy.

Al Tayer made these remarks during his speech at Gastech Exhibition & Conference 2021, which is hosted in the UAE under the patronage of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, and supported by the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure.

There are three main types of hydrogen. They are defined based on how they are produced and the carbon in them. Green Hydrogen, which is of interest for us in line with Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, is produced by electrolysis using renewable energy sources. Blue Hydrogen is produced using fossil fuels with full or partial carbon capture. Grey Hydrogen is produced using fossil fuels without removing carbon.
