Low-Carbon Hydrogen Production
Represents around 50% of the MENA 2024 market due to proven reliability and lower operating costs for large‑scale production. Ideal for industrial projects with stable grid conditions.
Flexible technology for integration with variable solar power. Higher hydrogen purity (around 99.9%) and fast start‑up, important for applications such as aviation and maritime transport.
High efficiency (greater than 85%) at elevated temperatures, leveraging industrial waste heat. Suited to projects integrated with CCUS and petrochemical processes.
Phased deployment with about 8.7 GW of electrolysis capacity by 2031, prioritising alkaline for volume and PEM/SOEC for specialised applications.

🌱 How It Works
Blue Hydrogen and CCUS as a Transition Strategy
Operational CCUS Projects:
- ADNOC Al Reyadah: 800,000 tons CO₂/year captured and used for enhanced oil recovery
- Ruwais Blue Ammonia Facility: 1 MTPA of blue ammonia, with about 50% lower carbon intensity than conventional methods.
Geological Storage:
- Depleted oil and gas reservoirs and saline formations provide large potential storage capacity for future scaling.
01
Dual strategy to reach a total of 1.4 MTPA (1.0 green + 0.4 blue) in 2031, leveraging natural gas reserves while scaling renewable capacity.
