Green Hydrogen project

The Green Hydrogen project supports the forward-looking vision of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to consolidate the competitive advantages of the UAE in the field of hydrogen. The project enhances DEWA’s efforts to support the National Hydrogen Strategy, the UAE's Net Zero 2050 Strategy, the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050 to provide 100% of the energy production capacity from clean sources by 2050. It also supports the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030, which aims to stimulate the use of sustainable transport to improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The Green Hydrogen project is the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa to produce green hydrogen using solar energy. Implemented in collaboration with Expo 2020 Dubai and Siemens Energy, the project produces about 20 kilogrammes of hydrogen per hour, with a gas tank that can store up to 12 hours of hydrogen production. The stored hydrogen can be used for nighttime power generation through a hydrogen gas motor with a capacity of approximately 300 kilowatts of electrical energy.

The project has been built to accommodate future hydrogen applications across the energy, transport and industrial sectors.
