In the United Arab Emirates, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) reported its green hydrogen project has produced more than 100 tons of green hydrogen since its launch in May 2021.
Most of this was used to produce over 1.15 gigawatt hours (GWh) of clean electricity via a hydrogen gas engine, helping to abate more than 515 tons of carbon dioxide.
“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 in line with the emirate’s strategic objectives to improve air quality and reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, managing director and CEO of DEWA.
The project has been built to accommodate future hydrogen applications across the energy, transport and industrial sectors.
