Dubai's Green Hydrogen Project: Pioneering Sustainability in the Middle East
Key Ideas
- DEWA's Green Hydrogen project in Dubai has produced 90 tonnes of green hydrogen using solar energy, setting a regional benchmark.
- The project supports the UAE's goal of securing 25% of the low-carbon hydrogen market and aligns with Dubai's Clean Energy and Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategies.
- By generating over 1 GWh of green energy, the project has avoided around 450 tonnes of CO2 emissions and aims to expand future hydrogen applications in various sectors.
- With plans to increase the solar park's capacity to over 5,000 MW by 2030, Dubai aims to drive competitive pricing in green hydrogen production.
Dubai's Green Hydrogen project, led by the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), has successfully produced 90 tonnes of green hydrogen, marking a significant milestone in the region. The project, which utilizes solar energy for electrolysis, has the capacity to produce 20 kilograms of hydrogen per hour and store it for up to 12 hours. By utilizing stored hydrogen to generate electricity through a hydrogen gas motor, the project has already contributed over one gigawatt hour of green energy, reducing approximately 450 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions. This initiative not only supports the UAE's objective of capturing a quarter of the low-carbon hydrogen market but also aligns with Dubai's ambitious Clean Energy and Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategies for 2050. DEWA's Green Hydrogen project aims to pave the way for future applications of hydrogen in transportation and industry, solidifying Dubai's reputation as a global leader in renewable energy innovation. With plans to significantly increase the production capacity of the solar park to over 5,000 MW by 2030, Dubai anticipates driving cost-efficient green hydrogen production, further establishing its position as a sustainability pioneer in the Middle East.
