Revolutionizing Green Hydrogen Production from Waste in the UAE
Key Ideas
  • Collaboration between BEEAH, Chinook Hydrogen, and Air Water Inc. in Sharjah to establish a waste-to-hydrogen plant for green hydrogen production and emission reduction.
  • The plant will utilize innovative technology to produce 7 tons of green hydrogen daily, contributing to the UAE's goal of becoming a hydrogen production hub by 2031.
  • Aside from green hydrogen, the plant will generate by-products like biogenic carbon dioxide and nitrogen for various industrial applications, further enhancing sustainability.
  • The project aligns with the UAE Centennial Plan 2071 and the National Hydrogen Strategy, emphasizing energy diversification and reducing reliance on fossil fuels for a sustainable future.
In a collaborative effort with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI) and international technology partners Chinook Hydrogen and Air Water Inc., a groundbreaking waste-to-hydrogen plant is set to revolutionize green hydrogen production in Sharjah, UAE. This innovative plant will leverage Chinook Hydrogen's RODECS gasification and pyrolysis solution along with Air Water Inc.'s hydrogen refinement technology to produce fuel-cell grade hydrogen from organic-based sources like Municipal Solid Waste (MSW). Anticipated to be operational by Q2 of 2027, the plant will initially generate 7 tons of green hydrogen daily, with plans to scale up production capacity subsequently. Apart from fostering emission-free energy production and hydrogen-fueled mobility, the plant will divert significant amounts of waste annually, while preventing substantial greenhouse gas emissions. The technology's efficacy has been validated by international consultants, positioning it for large-scale deployment. This initiative aligns with the UAE's goal of being a global leader in hydrogen production, contributing to the country's net-zero strategy and hydrogen leadership ambitions. Driven by the UAE Centennial Plan 2071 and the National Hydrogen Strategy, this project underscores the commitment to energy diversification and sustainable practices, marking a significant stride towards a greener and more innovative future.
