By The global demand for green hydrogen within various industries is on the rise. The UAE is actively promoting Green Hydrogen Production under the Activity Group Manufacturing of chemicals with License Type Industrial. This activity entails producing carbon-free green hydrogen through water electrolysis, utilizing electricity sourced from renewable sources like solar or wind. The resulting hydrogen can be blended with natural gas and utilized in thermal power plants, central heating plants, or as a feedstock for other energy carriers. It can also power fuel cells in automobiles and ships.
Certification plays a crucial role in this process. Hydrogen is recognized as an essential component for achieving the Paris climate targets by scientific, industrial, and political communities. As a high-energy gas that emits no CO2 during combustion or material use, hydrogen presents itself as a climate-friendly alternative to fossil fuels. However, traditional hydrogen production methods heavily rely on fossil energy carriers, resulting in significant carbon emissions. Hence, sustainable production and utilization of hydrogen are imperative to displace fossil-based energy sources and mitigate greenhouse gas emissions. Certification provides hydrogen owners with an independent and internationally recognized verification of emission reductions achieved through the use of their hydrogen or hydrogen derivatives.
It’s important to distinguish between different types of green hydrogen:
Renewable Hydrogen: Produced through electrolysis using electricity from renewable sources like solar or wind power, ensuring zero carbon emissions during production.
Low Carbon Hydrogen: Produced using methods that minimize carbon emissions, often involving carbon capture and storage technologies or biomass utilization.
Carbon-neutral Hydrogen: Produced using methods that offset carbon emissions, such as through carbon capture and storage or utilization of renewable energy sources.
