During Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2025, Suhail bin Mohammed Al Mazrouei, the Minister of Energy and Infrastructure of the UAE, announced the collaboration with IPHE to draft new legislation and policies supporting the sustainability of hydrogen production. These efforts are aimed at fostering hydrogen as a key fuel source in the future. Al Mazrouei emphasized the need for clear standards and a roadmap to ensure the long-term sustainability of the hydrogen sector, with plans for adoption by all IPHE member states. The UAE aims to produce 1.4 million metric tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen annually by 2031, requiring robust regulations covering production, transportation, and other aspects to position the nation as a major global player in low-carbon hydrogen energy. Al Mazrouei also noted a substantial decrease in hydrogen production costs, down by 40-50% to US$5-6 per kilogram, indicating improved sustainability and efficiency in the sector's processes. The UAE's strategic partnerships and focus on legislative frameworks are crucial steps towards advancing the hydrogen industry and promoting economic and environmental benefits.
