Masdar and TotalEnergies have announced a partnership to develop a commercial green hydrogen-to-methanol-to-SAF project in Abu Dhabi following a successful test flight. This initiative aims to decarbonize emission-intensive sectors like aviation and maritime industries by utilizing CO2 captured from industrial sources and green hydrogen produced through renewable energy-powered electrolysis. The project's goal is to create green methanol and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF). The collaboration aligns with Abu Dhabi's Low Carbon Hydrogen Policy and the UAE National Hydrogen Strategy, which seek to establish the UAE as a global leader in low-carbon hydrogen production by 2031. Masdar has been actively fostering partnerships to advance the SAF sector, with a vision to have 1% of national airline fuel locally produced as SAF by 2031. This agreement further supports economic growth, sustainability, and energy security in Abu Dhabi. Masdar, known for its role in sustainability and climate action, aims to expand its renewable energy portfolio to 100GW and become a key producer of green hydrogen by 2030.
