With this plant, DEWA aims to demonstrate the production of green hydrogen from solar power, storage and re-electrification.

The UAE recently approved a system for hydrogen fuel-powered vehicles, which aims to develop the country's Green Hydrogen economy, and encourage an increase in environment-friendly vehicles.

The latest project also supports the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 to provide 75% of Dubai’s total power capacity from clean energy sources by 2050 as well as the Dubai Green Mobility 2030 initiative, which aims to stimulate the use of sustainable transport.
