ENOC Group and Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) have entered into a trial agreement to assess the viability of green hydrogen-powered mobility solutions in Dubai. This initiative aims to advance the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030 and contribute to the growth of the UAE’s green hydrogen economy.
Burhan Al Hashemi, Managing Director of ENOC Commercial and International Sales, and Ahmed Hashem Bahrozyan, Chief Executive Officer of The Public Transport Agency (PTA) at RTA, formalised the agreement at ENOC Group Headquarters. Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO of ENOC, witnessed the signing.
As part of the agreement, ENOC Group will provide green hydrogen fuel to power RTA’s hydrogen-fuelled city buses. Additionally, ENOC will offer technical assistance and supply data on green hydrogen refuelling to aid RTA in completing a detailed feasibility study.
Both organisations have pledged to maintain the highest safety and operational standards throughout the duration of the project.
Al Falasi commented, “Green hydrogen presents a promising alternative to conventional energy sources, and with the UAE committed to developing a hydrogen economy, we are proud to be at the forefront of its adoption in the country.”
Meanwhile, Bahrozyan highlighted that the agreement marks a significant step in enhancing cooperation between RTA and ENOC Group to utilise green hydrogen for powering RTA’s various modes of transportation, including public buses and marine transport, making them more sustainable and eco-friendly.
Renewable energy sources like solar and wind generate green hydrogen by electrolysing water, producing zero carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions during the process.
