Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and Siemens Energy have inaugurated the Middle East’s first industrial-scale, solar-powered green hydrogen project.
With power provided by the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park (MBR), which currently has a capacity of 1,013MW, the pilot plant is expected to produce around 20.5kg of hydrogen per hour.
Following two years of construction, DEWA now aims to use the project to demonstrate the production of green hydrogen from solar power, as well as the storage and re-electrification of hydrogen. The plant has been built to accommodate future applications and test platforms for the different uses of hydrogen, including potential mobility and industrial uses.
