The UAE, particularly Abu Dhabi, has been a significant player in the energy industry, known for its contributions to global decarbonisation efforts. The country is now focusing on the next phase of technology development, particularly in carbon capture and low carbon hydrogen. The UAE's National Hydrogen Strategy aims to establish the country as a major hydrogen producer and exporter while maintaining a focus on achieving Net Zero by 2050. ADNOC is central to scaling up carbon capture technologies in the region. The UAE possesses a competitive advantage with its existing infrastructure, including oil and gas facilities that can be repurposed for hydrogen projects. Additionally, the presence of large solar farms enables green hydrogen production, and established export networks ensure access to key markets. The UAE is witnessing significant investments in hydrogen and CCS projects, with ADNOC leading initiatives to develop large-scale hydrogen projects with partners like Mubadala and ADQ. AD Ports Group and Masdar are exploring a green hydrogen production hub within the Khalifa Economic Zones Abu Dhabi. The country's focus on hydrogen is evident through projects like the first green hydrogen plant in Dubai and the development of the TA’ZIZ Industrial Chemicals Zone in Ruwais. The UAE's commitment to low-carbon fuels and ammonia production demonstrates its dedication to sustainable practices. The partnerships and investments in hydrogen projects reflect the positive sentiment towards the UAE's leadership in the energy transition and decarbonisation efforts.
