DEWA's Green Hydrogen Project: Pioneering Sustainable Energy in Dubai
Key Ideas
  • DEWA's Green Hydrogen project in Dubai has produced 90 tonnes of green hydrogen, leading to the generation of over one gigawatt hour of green energy and a reduction of 450 tonnes of CO2 emissions.
  • The project, a collaboration between DEWA, Expo 2020 Dubai, and Siemens Energy, is the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa to produce green hydrogen using solar energy.
  • The Green Hydrogen project not only aims to diversify energy resources but also aligns with the UAE's goal to acquire 25% of the low-carbon hydrogen market, contributing to national strategies for clean energy and net-zero carbon emissions.
  • Implemented at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the project utilizes electrolysis with renewable energy sources, positioning Dubai as a global benchmark for solar energy prices and promoting competitive prices in green hydrogen production.
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has made significant strides in sustainable energy with its Green Hydrogen project, producing 90 tonnes of green hydrogen since its launch in May 2021. The project, in collaboration with Expo 2020 Dubai and Siemens Energy, utilizes solar energy to produce green hydrogen, reducing CO2 emissions by 450 tonnes and generating over one gigawatt hour of green energy. This initiative marks a groundbreaking development in the Middle East and North Africa, fostering a shift towards renewable energy sources. Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, emphasized the project's alignment with UAE's ambitions to dominate the low-carbon hydrogen market and achieve national energy strategies. By implementing the project at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, DEWA aims to drive competitive prices in green hydrogen production and establish Dubai as a global leader in solar energy innovation and sustainability.
