The UAE’s hydrogen strategy is another smart step to decarbonise the economy – The National

In the Year of Sustainability, the UAE has committed to acting today for a better tomorrow. Throughout the country's journey, our leaders have envisioned and worked towards a future with abundant resources, a thriving economy and a healthier environment.

Last week, we took a major step in this direction with the update of the UAE Energy Strategy 2050 and the launch of the National Hydrogen Strategy – both are to provide a blueprint for a sustainable, climate-safe energy-secure future for our nation.

We made sure to aim high and set ambitious targets. From more than tripling the country’s renewables capacity to establishing cutting-edge hydrogen oases and investing up to Dh200 billion to sustainably meet the energy demand in the next seven years, the two strategies reflect our unwavering commitment to decarbonising the economy and reaching net zero by 2050.
