WAM reported that the green hydrogen projects of Abu Dhabi National Energy Company Taqa are progressing very well and that green hydrogen will play a significant role in the company's growing portfolio of renewables. Taqa’s Executive Director of Generation Mr Farid Al Awlaqi said "We are currently in the techno feasibility stage of the two green hydrogen projects that were announced in partnership with two local entities. There's no specific date that I can give you right now, but we are in advanced stages already. So, hopefully, you'll be hearing something very soon.”Taqa's is partnering with leading integrated steel maker Emirates Steel to develop a large-scale green hydrogen project enabling the first green steel produced in the MENA region. The second project is a partnership with Abu Dhabi Ports to develop an industrial scale green ammonia manufacturing and export facility in Abu Dhabi.The project with Emirates Steel will consider utilising green hydrogen to optimise clean steel production level. The hydrogen will enable green and low carbon steel manufacturing, saving energy while creating a sustainable and clean manufacturing process. Taqa–Abu Dhabi Ports project to develop industrial-scale green ammonia manufacturing and export facility will be fuelled by hydrogen produced from power generated by a 2 GW solar PV power plant. Taqa had announced that green hydrogen will form a valuable part of the company's 2030 strategy for growth, which includes growing its gross power capacity from 18 GW to 30 GW in the UAE and adding up to 15 GW internationally. This increase in capacity will focus on renewable energy, particularly solar PV, to comprise more than 30% of its generation portfolio by 2030, up from the current 5%.
