Key Points
UAE targets 1.4 million metric tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen by 2031
Ministry collaborates with IPHE to establish comprehensive hydrogen regulations
Hydrogen production costs reduced by 40-50 percent in recent years
These policies, designed for adoption by all IPHE member states, will also be implemented in the UAE to promote hydrogen as the fuel of the future.
Speaking to the Emirates News Agency (WAM) during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2025, Al Mazrouei emphasised that the legislative efforts with IPHE aim to establish a roadmap and clear standards to ensure the long-term sustainability of the hydrogen sector.
He also highlighted the UAE's strong presence on the Hydrogen Council through ADNOC and Masdar.
"We are collaborating with global partners to develop sustainable and supportive legislations for the hydrogen sector," he stated, adding that the UAE has launched a roadmap targeting the production of 1.4 million metric tonnes of low-carbon hydrogen annually by 2031. This roadmap necessitates comprehensive regulations on production, transportation, and other aspects to position the UAE as a global producer and exporter of low-carbon hydrogen energy.
Al Mazrouei noted a significant reduction in hydrogen production costs, which have decreased by 40 to 50 per cent, from USD 10 per kilogram to USD 5-6 per kilogram, enhancing the sector's sustainability and production processes. (ANI/WAM)
