Green Hydrogen project

The Green Hydrogen project is the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa to use solar power to produce hydrogen. It was implemented by DEWA, in collaboration with Expo 2020 Dubai and Siemens Energy, at the outdoor testing facilities of the R&D Centre at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.

The pilot plant has been designed to accommodate future applications and test platforms for the different uses of hydrogen, in sectors including industry and transport.

The plant produces about 400 kilograms of green hydrogen per day. It uses hydrogen through a combined heat and power unit of about 300 kilowatts of electrical energy. The project supports DEWA’s efforts to achieve the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050 to provide 100% of Dubai’s energy capacity from clean energy sources by 2050.

Green hydrogen... the sustainable fuel of the future. Watch this video to discover how this project is shaping the future of clean energy.
