4/24/24, 11:51 AM Colombia aims to attract UAE investment worth $700 million after signing Cepa
The UAE is not leaving “any stones unturned” to reach its goal of becoming a
major hydrogen producer and exporter, a Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure

official said last year.

The Emirates, which has shipped test cargoes of blue ammonia to countries

such as Germany and Japan, is working with the International Partnership for
Hydrogen and Fuel Cells in the Economy (IPHE) and the EU Commission to

agree on a standard certification process for the export of the low-carbon fuel.

“Eventually, when we are to export hydrogen, the certification requirements
need to match with the importing country,” said Sharif Al Olama, the ministry's
Undersecretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs.

Hydrogen comes in various forms, including blue, green, and grey. Blue and

grey hydrogen are produced from natural gas, while green is derived from
splitting water molecules by electrolysis.

The UAE aims to reach hydrogen production of 1.4 million tonnes annually by
2031. The target is then to reach 15 million tonnes of annual production by

2050.
