Dubai Electricity and Water Authority’s (DEWA) green hydrogen project has produced more than 100 tonnes since its launch in May 2021.

Most of the hydrogen has been used to produce over 1.15 Gwh of clean electricity via a hydrogen gas engine, helping to abate 515 tonnes of carbon dioxide.

The 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.
