"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)
