Dubai’s Production of Green Hydrogen Reduces 450 Tonnes of CO2 Emissions

Fuel Cells Works | December 9, 2024

DUBAI-- Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has announced that its Green Hydrogen project has produced around 90 tonnes of green hydrogen since it was launched in May 2021.

Most of this hydrogen was used to produce more than one-gigawatt hour (GWh) of green energy, reducing about 450 tonnes of CO2 emissions. The Green Hydrogen project is the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa to produce green hydrogen using solar energy.

Implemented in collaboration with Expo 2020 Dubai and Siemens Energy, the project produces about 20 kilogrammes of hydrogen per hour, and its gas tank can store up to 12 hours of hydrogen produced using solar energy. It is used to produce electricity during the night through a hydrogen gas motor with a capacity of approximately 300 kilowatts of electrical energy.

The Green Hydrogen project has been designed and built to accommodate future applications and test platforms for various uses of hydrogen, including the air, land and sea transport sectors and other industries...more

The world pumps ~40,000,000,000 tons of CO2 in the atmosphere annually.
A 450 ton offset is worthless
