Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), in partnership with Abdul Latif Jameel Motors and Toyota Motor Corporation, is focusing on advancing hydrogen fuel cell research to support the Kingdom's decarbonization goals. The strategic partnership aims to contribute to Saudi Arabia's aim of achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2060. As a key element of this collaboration, KAUST has acquired Proton Electrolyte Membrane (PEM) fuel cell modules from Toyota, establishing a cutting-edge laboratory dedicated to hydrogen fuel cell technology under its Clean Energy Research Platform. This initiative is crucial in tailoring fuel cells to the region's unique environmental conditions. Professor Mani Sarathy from KAUST highlighted the importance of this partnership in driving the adoption of hydrogen fuel cell technology, aligning with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and the net-zero goals for 2060. The team at CERP is conducting research to optimize PEM fuel cells for the region, focusing on factors like temperature sensitivity and efficiency. Saudi Arabia plans to leverage its renewable energy resources to produce green and blue hydrogen using CCUS technology, aiming to produce 2.9 million tons of hydrogen by 2030 for domestic use and export, contributing to a greener future.
