Revolutionizing Aviation with Green Hydrogen: Masdar's Strategic Partnership
Key Ideas
- Masdar and TotalEnergies aim to develop a green hydrogen to methanol to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) project to decarbonize aviation and maritime industries.
- The project includes capturing CO2 from an industrial source for use as a feedstock along with green hydrogen for producing green methanol and SAF.
- The agreement aligns with Abu Dhabi's Low Carbon Hydrogen Policy and UAE National Hydrogen Strategy to establish the country as a global producer of low carbon hydrogen by 2031.
- Masdar's goal is to increase its renewable energy portfolio capacity to 100GW by 2030 and become a leading producer of green hydrogen.
Masdar, in partnership with TotalEnergies, is embarking on a groundbreaking project to develop commercial green hydrogen to methanol to Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) in Abu Dhabi. The venture aims to address emissions in hard-to-abate sectors like aviation and maritime by leveraging green hydrogen from renewable energy sources and CO2 capture for feedstock. This initiative follows a successful test flight showcasing the conversion of methanol to SAF. Aligning with Abu Dhabi's Low Carbon Hydrogen Policy and UAE's National Hydrogen Strategy, the project highlights a strategic move towards sustainable energy solutions. Masdar's commitment to increasing its renewable energy portfolio capacity and leading in green hydrogen production reflects a shift towards a greener and more sustainable future in the global energy landscape.
