#5 Dubai seeks to build the world’s first solar hydrogen electrolysis facility in time for the September Expo 2020

In Dubai, the government and its state utility— DEWA— have decided to push toward the integration of H2 technology as well as accelerate the use of renewables in the region. DEWA and Siemens are building the regions first solar driven hydrogen electrolysis facility. If the plant uses only daylight solar power, each unit could produce up to 240 kilograms of hydrogen per day. After a test phase, the plant will provide energy for mobility purposes at the Expo 2020 Dubai. Overall, the facility establishment and subsequent integration will demonstrate an integrated megawatt-scale plant to produce hydrogen using solar, store the hydrogen gas, then deploy it for mobility or other industrial purposes.
