UAE is building 'first green hydrogen plant' in M.East - minister | Reuters

The United Arab Emirates has started building "the first green hydrogen plant in the Middle East" and testing is currently underway, Energy Minister Suhail Al-Mazrouei said on Tuesday.

The minister, who was speaking at a private business event at the Expo 2020 world fair in Dubai, gave no further details about the plans.

So-called green hydrogen, created by splitting water into its two components using electricity from renewable energy sources, is increasingly viewed as a fuel of the future to reduce carbon emissions from fossil fuels.

The UAE aims to capture 25% of the global hydrogen fuel market by 2030 and is implementing more than seven ambitious hydrogen projects, targeting major export markets including Japan, South Korea, Germany and India, the state news agency WAM reported last week.
