Linde and the United Arab Emirates’ Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to identify and develop projects that will contribute to MOEI’s Energy Strategy 2050 and the UAE Net Zero Initiative for achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. The joint projects will focus on four main areas: hydrogen mobility, carbon capture and storage, green hydrogen production through electrolysis, and hydrogen blending with natural gas.
UAE’s delegation was welcomed at Linde’s offices in Pullach, Germany, by Jürgen Nowicki, EVP Linde plc and CEO of Linde Engineering, Andreas Bieringer, Head of Region Linde Gas Middle East, and Philippe PECCARD, VP Clean Energy.
“The UAE recognises Clean Energy as the main pillar of sustainability and a priority in the country, said H.E. Sharif Al Olama, UAE Undersecretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs. “In line with our Net-Zero ambitions and the UAE Hydrogen Leadership roadmap, the UAE seeks to accelerate the adoption of the latest innovations to face climate change and accelerate the energy transition. Partnerships with the private sector are key in helping us achieve this”.
“Linde has a long-standing presence in UAE and we are committed to supporting the country’s ambitious decarbonization targets,” said Juergen Nowicki, EVP Linde plc and CEO of Linde Engineering. “By using our local and global capabilities across the whole hydrogen and CCS value chains, we will be able to serve industry and mobility customers as they transition to clean energy, while ensuring the safety, reliability and efficiency standards that our customers value us for.”
