As part of Dubai’s strategy to become a sustainable global hub for clean energy and green economy, Dubai’s ENOC Group and Japanese heavy-industry manufacturer IHI Corp have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore establishing a low-carbon hydrogen and low-carbon ammonia supply chain in the UAE.
The move is aligned with the UAE’s overall efforts to diversify its energy sources to transition into a clean energy model for the world to emulate. The produced fuel will be exported to Japan and supplied within the UAE and across the region for bunkering and other purposes.
Green ammonia, which can be achieved by combining and reacting green hydrogen and nitrogen at high temperatures and pressures, can potentially reduce global carbon emissions and be used within the transportation, power generation and industrial sectors.
