Dubai: Mr. Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Vice Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy and Chairman of ENOC, has inaugurated the ENOC Group’s first green hydrogen station located within the Service Station of the Future (SSoF) at Expo City Dubai.
The ceremony was held in the presence of the ENOC Group’s CEO, Mr. Saif Humaid Al Falasi. SSoF is now the only station in the region to provide green hydrogen, hydrocarbon fuels (petrol and diesel), as well as electric charging stations.
The new green hydrogen station, which is a joint venture between ENOC Group and Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), will support the National Hydrogen Strategy 2050 and the UAE’s hosting of COP28, which is welcoming thousands of global climate champions.
The opening of the green hydrogen station marks a significant step forward in ENOC Group’s cooperation with DEWA to utilize green hydrogen in mobility and contribute to the Dubai Green Mobility Initiative 2030 as well as the development of the UAE’s hydrogen economy. The UAE aims to achieve low-emission hydrogen production of 1.4 million tons annually by 2031, which is expected to increase to 15 million tons every year by 2050.
We work in line with the vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to promote Dubai’s position as a global model for sustainability and green transformation. We are pleased with the collaboration between DEWA and ENOC Group to provide the green hydrogen, which DEWA produces at its pilot plant at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, to be used as fuel.
Mr. Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Vice Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, stated.
“This plant supports Dubai’s firm commitment to sustainability and UAE’s efforts to combat climate change. It also contributes to accelerating the transition to carbon neutrality in line with the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050 to provide 100 percent of the energy production capacity from clean energy sources by 2050,” Mr. Al Tayer added.
