Dr. Al Jaber notes Hydrogen is in its infancy, but could be a game-changer
Aligning supply and demand key to developing the Hydrogen economy of the future, the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) is working with its partners to identify viable market opportunities
ADNOC is keen to explore the Hydrogen market with India’s public and private sectors to support India’s growing demand for energy and need for cleaner fuels according to Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and Managing Director and Group CEO, ADNOC.
Speaking during a high-level ministerial session at a virtual Hydrogen Roundtable organized by The Energy Forum (TEF) in collaboration with the Federation of Indian Petroleum Industry (FIPI) and India’s Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG), Dr. Al Jaber reinforced the strong economic ties between the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and India.
“As India’s demand for energy grows, we stand ready to help meet that demand by making the full portfolio of our products available to the Indian market,” observed Dr. Al Jaber following remarks by Dharmendra Pradhan, India’s Minister of Petroleum and Natural Gas.
ADNOC currently produces about 300,000 tons of Hydrogen a year as part of its current industrial processes. He expressed optimism that alongside the company’s existing infrastructure and commercial-scale Carbon Capture Utilization Storage (CCUS) capabilities, it can become a major player in the developing blue hydrogen market.
ADNOC is also exploring the potential of green Hydrogen through the Abu Dhabi Hydrogen Alliance which was recently established by ADNOC, Mubadala Investment Company (Mubadala) and ADQ, Dr. Al Jaber added, as the company prioritizes blue Hydrogen.
