ENOC Group And RTA Partner To Explore Green Hydrogen For Sustainable Mobility In Dubai

ENOC Group and Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) have entered into a trial agreement to assess the potential of green hydrogen-powered mobility solutions in Dubai. This initiative aims to advance the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030 and bolster the UAE's green hydrogen economy. The agreement was formalised at ENOC Group Headquarters by Burhan Al Hashemi, Managing Director of ENOC Commercial and International Sales, and Ahmed Hashem Bahrozyan, CEO of The Public Transport Agency at RTA.

Under this collaboration, ENOC Group will supply green hydrogen fuel for RTA's hydrogen-powered city buses. Additionally, ENOC will offer technical support and data on green hydrogen refuelling to aid RTA in conducting a detailed feasibility study. Both organisations are dedicated to maintaining high safety and operational standards throughout the project.

Green hydrogen is produced through water electrolysis using renewable electricity sources like solar and wind power. This process results in zero carbon dioxide emissions during production. Besides reducing greenhouse gas emissions, green hydrogen helps diversify energy sources and extends vehicle driving ranges.

Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO of ENOC, highlighted the significance of green hydrogen as an alternative energy source. He stated, "Green hydrogen represents a compelling alternative to traditional energy sources, and as the UAE is focused on developing a hydrogen economy, we are proud to be at the forefront of its adoption in the UAE."

Ahmed Hashem Bahrozyan emphasised that this agreement marks a crucial step in enhancing cooperation between RTA and ENOC Group. The focus is on utilising green hydrogen to operate RTA's transportation systems, including public buses and marine transport, making them more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

The partnership between ENOC Group and RTA reflects their commitment to exploring innovative solutions for sustainable transportation in Dubai. By leveraging green hydrogen technology, they aim to contribute significantly to reducing carbon emissions while supporting the UAE's broader environmental goals.

This initiative aligns with global efforts to transition towards cleaner energy alternatives. As cities worldwide seek sustainable solutions for public transport, Dubai's exploration of green hydrogen technology positions it as a leader in adopting environmentally friendly practices.
