Green Hydrogen

Growing global interest in green hydrogen based on renewable energy sources in order to achieve a carbon-free society, as the fuel of the future, and the most efficient, effective and affordable source of clean energy.

Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis when separating water into hydrogen and oxygen, where it requires the extension of an electric current through it, and allows the technology to store large amounts of energy for long periods, and can be used as feedstock for chemical industries such as ammonia, industrial fuels and others.

Since the previous year, there have been warnings by the Intergovernmental Panel on climate change (IPCC) about the urgent need to move to other energy sources that are free of air pollution emissions, rather than relying on the use of air-polluting fossil fuels .green hydrogen has emerged as a solution in the most energy-consuming sectors, such as aviation, shipping, heavy industry, and even home heating, as it accelerates the transition to carbon neutrality in order to achieve the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Carbon Neutrality Strategy 2050.


Green hydrogen projects come globally as one of the most promising areas in promoting the transition towards renewable energy, supporting economic growth and bringing modern technologies , and in a related context the Arab countries were not immune from investing in hydrogen energy, where the UAE, as usual, was a pioneer in everything that makes it distinctive and unique, It launched the first pilot project of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa to produce hydrogen using solar energy, planned to generate 20.5 kilograms of green hydrogen per hour in the Mohammed bin Rashid Solar Park. The UAE is also implementing a green hydrogen project, which is expected to be operational in 2025 in the city of "Ruwais" of the emirate of Abu Dhabi and studies indicate that the production of green hydrogen will increase by 57% annually to reach 5.7 million tons in 2030.

The UAE has recently invested in green hydrogen projects in Egypt in support of its efforts to transition to a green economy in order to attract Arab and foreign investments.
