UAE's ADNOC joins Hydrogen council
Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), said it has joined the Hydrogen Council – an international organization that aims to accelerate the global position of hydrogen through its member companies.
ADNOC said they have plans to “leverage” their existing hydrogen production, infrastructure and partnership base and vast reserves of natural gas to lead both Abu Dhabi and the UAE’s hydrogen activities “with the aim to become one of the lowest cost and largest producers of blue hydrogen in the world.”
“Energy demand continues to increase as global populations expand and economic development accelerates. With an energy transition taking place, this means that more energy is needed with fewer emissions,” said Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Managing Director and Group CEO of ADNOC.
The Hydrogen council was established in 2017. The organisation said that hydrogen is expected to account for as much as 18 percent of global energy demand by 2050.
