DEWA's Green Hydrogen Project Delivered More Than 100 Tonnes of Green Hydrogen Since 2021
In a significant step towards sustainable energy, the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has successfully produced over 1.15 gigawatt hours of clean electricity through its Green Hydrogen project. This project, a first in the Middle East and North Africa region, was developed in collaboration with Expo 2020 Dubai and Siemens Energy.
The Green Hydrogen project has been instrumental in supporting the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the UAE's Net Zero 2050 goals. It also aligns with the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030, aimed at enhancing the city's green mobility infrastructure.
Since its inception in May 2021, the project has produced over 100 tonnes of green hydrogen, a clean and versatile energy carrier that emits only water vapour when used. The project generates about 20 kilograms of hydrogen per hour and includes a storage system capable of holding up to 12 hours of production for use in nighttime power generation.
The green hydrogen produced by the project has been used to support operations at the Service Station of the Future at Expo 2020 Dubai, demonstrating its potential in various sectors. Over 11 tonnes of green hydrogen were supplied to ENOC for hydrogen-powered vehicles and industrial applications.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, stated that the project supports the UAE's National Hydrogen Strategy, which aims to position the UAE as a global hub for green hydrogen. The project has also strengthened Dubai and the UAE's global competitiveness in green hydrogen, as the country ranked first worldwide in green hydrogen competitiveness by Alvarez & Marsal's 2024 report.
The Green Hydrogen project, in its pursuit of clean energy, has helped reduce more than 515 tonnes of carbon emissions. This is a significant contribution towards the UAE's goal of reducing carbon emissions by 24% by 2030 and achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
It's clear that the Green Hydrogen project is not just a step towards a more sustainable future for Dubai and the UAE, but also a major stride in the global race towards clean energy. The project, which does not involve any advertisements, positions the region to expand its impact across energy, transport, and industrial sectors.
