UAE Plans Green Hydrogen Facilities in Spain, Egypt, and UK for European and Asian Markets
Key Ideas
  • The UAE is in discussions to establish green hydrogen facilities in Spain, Egypt, and the UK to reach a low-carbon hydrogen capacity of 1.4mt/yr by 2031.
  • Targeting a cost of $2/kg for green hydrogen, the UAE also plans to produce 1mt/yr of green hydrogen and 400,000t/yr of blue hydrogen by 2031, focusing on European and Asian export markets.
  • With ambitions to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, the UAE aims to scale up production to 7.5mt/yr of low-carbon hydrogen by 2040 and 15mt/yr by 2050.
  • These initiatives align with the UAE's strategy to utilize low-carbon hydrogen for various sectors as part of its sustainability goals.
The UAE is strategically planning to establish green hydrogen facilities in Spain, Egypt, and the UK to enhance its global presence in the renewable energy sector. By targeting a low-carbon hydrogen capacity of 1.4mt/yr by 2031, the country is also focusing on achieving a competitive levelised cost of $2/kg for green hydrogen production. Additionally, the UAE aims to produce 1mt/yr of green hydrogen along with 400,000t/yr of blue hydrogen by 2031, primarily for export markets in Europe and Asia. As part of its commitment to becoming carbon-neutral by 2050, the UAE is looking to scale up its low-carbon hydrogen production to 7.5mt/yr by 2040 and further to 15mt/yr by mid-century. These efforts underscore the UAE's dedication to utilizing sustainable energy sources and advancing technology in line with its long-term sustainability objectives.
