Fulfilling MENA’s Potential as an Exporter of Clean Hydrogen
The cost of producing clean hydrogen is expected to drop between 30% to 50% by 2030 for countries in the MENA region. As such, the vast amounts of solar and wind energy resources make the region one of the most cost competitive for hydrogen production.
There are also great financial reserves from its Oil & Gas economy to funnel into new hydrogen investments, and it has lots of existing infrastructure and local capabilities to enable this. The region is also ideally located centrally for exporting to energy demand centres such as Europe and Asia.
