Dubai launches pilot green hydrogen project as part of Expo 2020

Dubai inaugurated its first green hydrogen plant at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the site of the UAE's biggest solar facility.

The pilot project developed by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, Expo 2020 and Germany's Siemens Energy aims to demonstrate how to produce hydrogen from solar power, as well as how to store and re-electrification of the clean fuel.

The plant has been built to accommodate future applications and test platforms for the different uses of hydrogen, including potential mobility and industrial uses, Siemens Energy said in a statement on Wednesday.
