The UAE is reinforcing its position as a global leader in low-carbon hydrogen production, under the visionary leadership of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE. This ambitious strategy aims to establish the UAE as one of the world’s largest and lowest-cost producers of low-carbon hydrogen, aligning with its broader ESG and carbon-neutral strategy. 

The UAE boasts a competitive advantage in green hydrogen production, leveraging its abundant solar energy resources, natural gas reservoirs suitable for blue hydrogen, and a strong infrastructure base. These assets make the country an ideal location for attracting global investments in clean energy. The UAE’s National Hydrogen Strategy, which is part of the broader energy transition goals, integrates hydrogen as a core energy source. This strategy aligns with the UAE Energy Strategy 2050, the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, and Dubai’s Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050. By 2031, the UAE expects local demand for low-carbon hydrogen to reach 2.7 million tonnes per annum, highlighting the growing global interest in hydrogen as a carbon-neutral fuel to fight global warming. 

A key initiative under this strategy is the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority’s (DEWA) Green Hydrogen project, the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Powered by solar energy, this pioneering project supports the UAE’s goal of capturing 25% of the global hydrogen market by 2030 and aligns with Dubai’s Green Mobility Strategy 2030, which focuses on reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Since its launch in 2021, the project has produced 90 tonnes of green hydrogen, reducing carbon emissions by 490 tonnes. Located at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the world’s largest single-site solar park, the project is designed to lower production and storage costs for green hydrogen, with future forecasts predicting a production cost of just $1.60 per kilogram by 2030. 

DEWA’s Green Hydrogen project exemplifies the UAE’s commitment to driving energy security, sustainability, and efficiency, while solidifying the country’s leadership in the global transition to clean energy. As the cost of green hydrogen decreases and efficiency improves, the UAE is well-positioned to be a driving force in achieving global carbon neutrality goals. Through these efforts, the UAE continues to enhance its ESG credentials and support sustainable development in the region and beyond.
