BEEAH Unveils Plans for Middle East's First Waste-to-Hydrogen Plant in Sharjah
Key Ideas
  • BEEAH, in collaboration with international partners and the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, plans to build the Middle East's first commercial-scale, waste-to-hydrogen plant in Al Sajaa, Sharjah.
  • The plant will utilize innovative technology to produce 7 tons of green hydrogen daily, contributing to emissions-free energy production and hydrogen-fuelled mobility, while diverting thousands of tons of waste annually and preventing greenhouse gas emissions.
  • The project aligns with the UAE's National Hydrogen Strategy and aims to position the country as a global leader in hydrogen production, contributing to energy diversification and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
  • The waste-to-hydrogen technology has been independently verified and is slated for future expansion to increase production capacity to 20 tons of green hydrogen per day.
During the Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week, BEEAH announced plans for the Middle East's pioneering waste-to-hydrogen plant in Al Sajaa, Sharjah, in partnership with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure, Chinook Hydrogen, and Air Water Inc. The facility will leverage cutting-edge technology to produce green hydrogen from organic-based waste, such as Municipal Solid Waste, with the first phase set to begin operations in Q2 of 2027. The project is expected to produce 7 tons of green hydrogen daily, contributing to emission reductions and promoting sustainable energy solutions. This initiative supports the UAE's goal of becoming a leading hydrogen production hub by 2031, aligning with national strategies for energy diversification and environmental sustainability. The collaboration between BEEAH and its international partners signifies a significant step towards realizing the UAE's vision for a greener and more innovative future.
