We look forward to working together to decarbonize industries that are hard to abate with renewable energy alone,” said Christian Bruch, CEO of Siemens Energy. As the first industrial scale facility to produce green hydrogen in the Middle East and North Africa, it is an important milestone of the energy transformation. “This landmark Green Hydrogen Project highlights the importance of partnership in driving forward innovative new clean energy solutions and tackling the existential threat from global climate change. DEWA is building know-how, experience and capabilities to contribute in shaping the clean hydrogen future of the UAE.” said His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA. DEWA has already explored and developed a pilot project for green mobility using hydrogen that can be executed in the near future, in addition to a number of studies, business strategies and a potential roadmap for hydrogen usage. ![]() The plant has been built to accommodate future applications and test platforms for the different uses of hydrogen, including potential mobility and industrial uses. This is a system that allows for buffering renewable energy production, both for fast response applications, as well as for long-term storage. Through this pilot project DEWA aims to demonstrate the production of green hydrogen from solar power, its storage and re-electrification. “This pioneering project which we have implemented with our strategic partner Siemens Energy is a role model for strategic partnerships between the public and private sectors. In less than five months, we will celebrate these ground-breaking collaborations, showcasing the UAE’s commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals and creating a meaningful legacy that will have a positive impact beyond the site and the six months of Expo.” “Expo 2020 congratulates all those involved, and believes this innovative project will inspire many more creative solutions that tackle some of the greatest challenges facing our planet. It epitomises the shared desire of Expo 2020 Dubai, DEWA, our Official Sustainable Energy Partner, and Siemens Energy to develop a global culture of innovation and deploy life-changing ideas and technologies around sustainability.” Her Excellency Reem Al Hashimy said: “The Green Hydrogen project is leading by example, showing how technology and collaboration can help build a cleaner, safer and healthier future for everyone. Utilizing this pilot project, DEWA aims to demonstrate the production of green hydrogen from solar power, as well as the storage, and re-electrification of hydrogen. Operational data from the green hydrogen electrolysis will be displayed at Expo 2020, one of the most sustainable World Expos in history and the largest event ever held in the Arab world. Daylight solar power from the solar park will enable the pilot project to produce around 20.5kg/hr of hydrogen at 1.25MWe of peak power. The integrated facility was developed with electrolysis, storage, and re-electrification capabilities, to maximize the benefits of the pilot project. Christian Bruch, President and CEO of Siemens Energy, and officials from the public and private sectors were present.
