Hydrogen Leadership Roadmap
The Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MOEI) announced during COP26 the UAE Hydrogen Leadership Roadmap. The roadmap includes three core objectives: unlocking new sources of value creation through exports of low carbon hydrogen, derivatives and products to key importing regions, fostering new hydrogen derivative opportunities through low-carbon steel, sustainable kerosene as well as other priority industries and contributing to the UAE’s 2050 net zero commitments. The UAE aims to support the low-carbon hydrogen business through five critical enablers: a clear regulatory framework backed by policies, incentives, standards, and certifications; best-in-class technology through value-add partnerships…

National green hydrogen strategy
…in transport and blending, low-cost supply through regulation and incentives, continued renewable energy deployment, and an enabling environment with standards and workforce development. It includes 43 actions across three timeframes to 2050, with designated stakeholders. Plans include domestic electrolyzer manufacturing from the 2030s and a certification scheme before 2030. Three scenarios explore renewable hydrogen production of up to 3.4 Mtpa by 2050, with demand reaching 1.1 Mtpa. Estimated investment needs total USD 175 billion. Follow-up actions include forming a cross-ministerial steering committee and a dedicated hydrogen unit within the Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources.

National Energy Efficiency Strategy
…total energy mix shall reach 7% by 2015 and 10% by 2020. Such a share would be met with about 600 to 1000 MW of wind energy, 300 to 600 MW of solar thermal energy, 30 to 50 MW of energy from waste. The Plan provides investors with fiscal incentives, 100% exemption from income tax over 10 years, to encourage independent power producing projects to generate electricity on BOO and BOT basis. The plan contains several measures to boost renewable energy deployment, such as: - Progressively remove oil and electricity price subsidies to make them cost reflexive - Establish an energy data…

Long-term Energy Supply and Demand Outlook
…renewable energy plays a key role in achieving all these objectives because they can contribute to energy independence, to the reduction of oil and gas imports and to the reduction of greenhouse gas emission.
According to this new plan, the final energy demand should save as much as 50.3 billion litres (crude oil equivalent) by 2030. By sector, savings from transport will amount to 16,070 thousand kilolitres, followed by commercial at 12,260 thousand kilolitres, residential sector 11,600 thousand kilolitres and industry at 10,420 thousand kilolitres. Those figures indicate that 35% improvement of final energy intensity…
