Masdar and TotalEnergies Join Forces for Green Hydrogen to SAF Project in Abu Dhabi
Key Ideas
  • Masdar and TotalEnergies collaborate to explore a commercial green hydrogen to methanol to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) project, aiming to decarbonize aviation and maritime sectors.
  • The project involves capturing CO2 from an industrial source and using green hydrogen from renewable energy to produce green methanol and SAF, showcasing potential for sustainable fuel conversion.
  • Aligned with Abu Dhabi's Low Carbon Hydrogen Policy and the UAE National Hydrogen Strategy, the initiative aims to position the UAE as a global leader in low carbon hydrogen production by 2031.
  • Masdar's commitment to sustainability and climate action is evident through its goal to reach 100GW of renewable energy capacity and become a top green hydrogen producer by 2030, supporting the UAE's vision for a sustainable future.
Masdar, the UAE's clean energy leader, has partnered with TotalEnergies to evaluate the feasibility of a commercial green hydrogen to methanol to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) project in Abu Dhabi. This initiative targets the decarbonization of challenging sectors like aviation and maritime by utilizing green methanol and SAF produced from CO2 capture and renewable energy-based green hydrogen. The recent agreement builds on a successful test flight conducted during COP28, demonstrating the potential of methanol to SAF conversion. Masdar's focus on the aviation industry is evident through strategic partnerships to advance the SAF sector. The project aligns with Abu Dhabi's Low Carbon Hydrogen Policy and the UAE National Hydrogen Strategy, aiming to establish the UAE as a major global producer of low carbon hydrogen by 2031. Masdar's commitment to sustainability is showcased by its goal to expand renewable energy capacity to 100GW and become a leading green hydrogen producer by 2030. Overall, this collaboration signifies a significant step towards a sustainable future, emphasizing economic growth, energy security, and environmental sustainability.
