DEWA's Green Hydrogen Success at Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park
Key Ideas
  • DEWA's Green Hydrogen project at the Solar Park has produced 90 tonnes of green hydrogen, with a portion used for green energy production and fueling 500 fuel-cell electric vehicles, reducing carbon emissions by over 40 tonnes.
  • The project is a regional milestone in hydrogen innovation, being the first in the Middle East and North Africa to produce green hydrogen using solar energy, with applications in various industries.
  • The initiative aligns with the UAE's Net Zero 2050 Strategy, Dubai's Green Mobility Strategy 2030, and bolsters Dubai's position as a global hub for green economy and sustainable development, promoting the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles.
  • Implemented in collaboration with Expo 2020 Dubai and Siemens Energy, the facility can produce 20 kilograms of hydrogen per hour and has storage capacity for 12 hours of solar-powered hydrogen production, showcasing the UAE's commitment to sustainable innovation.
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has achieved success with its Green Hydrogen project at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. Launched in May 2021, the project focuses on enhancing energy efficiency in the transport sector in alignment with Dubai's sustainable mobility goals. The project has produced approximately 90 tonnes of green hydrogen, a significant portion of which was used for green energy production while over 2.5 tonnes were supplied to the ENOC Group's Service Station of the Future at Expo City Dubai, fueling around 500 fuel-cell electric vehicles and reducing carbon emissions by more than 40 tonnes. The Green Hydrogen project is a significant regional milestone, being the first in the Middle East and North Africa to produce green hydrogen using solar energy. This initiative is seen as a promising step towards sustainability, air quality improvement, and greenhouse gas emission reductions, aligning with the UAE's Net Zero 2050 Strategy and Dubai's Green Mobility Strategy 2030. Additionally, the project reinforces Dubai's position as a global hub for the green economy and sustainable development, promoting the adoption of electric and hybrid vehicles to reduce transport sector emissions. Implemented in collaboration with Expo 2020 Dubai and Siemens Energy, the project has the capacity to produce 20 kilograms of hydrogen per hour and store 12 hours of solar-powered hydrogen production. This exemplifies the UAE's dedication to sustainable innovation, paving the way for broader hydrogen applications in various industries in the future.
