DEWA’s Green Hydrogen project reduces over 40 tonnes of CO2 emissions in transport sector
The Green Hydrogen project implemented by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) at its Research and Development (R&D) Centre at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park supports sustainable mobility in Dubai, improving energy and resource efficiency in transport. Since its launch in May 2021, the Green Hydrogen project has produced around 90 tonnes of green hydrogen. The majority of this hydrogen was used to produce green energy. More than 2.5 tonnes of hydrogen have been supplied to the ENOC Group’s Service Station of the Future (SSoF) at Expo City Dubai, sufficient to fuel 500 cars, reducing over 40 tonnes of CO2 emissions. The station can fuel approximately 50 fuel-cell electric vehicles (FCEV) at a speed of approximately eight minutes per car. It is now the only station in the region to provide green hydrogen, hydrocarbon fuels (petrol and diesel) and electric vehicle charging stations. DEWA provides green hydrogen at its filling station, supplied by the Green Hydrogen project.
