Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi is the capital of the UAE and is largest emirate in the United Arab Emirates, occupying 84 per cent of the national landmass territory. It has 200 islands and a long coastline stretching 700km. Its total area is 67,340 sq. km.

Abu Dhabi is playing leading role in energy transition. Abu Dhabi has launched its Clean Energy Strategic Target for 2035 for Electricity Production (“Strategic Target 2035”) which will provide certainty for investments, encouraging further implementation, technology development and innovation to generate energy from all types of clean sources. Also, Abu Dhabi is having very good solar resource and one of the lowest cost of solar power in the world.

Abu Dhabi has recently announced a comprehensive public policy aimed at promoting the use of low-carbon hydrogen as a key energy source in the Emirate. The policy includes the establishment of a dedicated hydrogen hub, which will support the production, distribution, and export of low-carbon hydrogen, as well as the creation of a regulatory framework to incentivize investment in the sector. 

Above will help in achieving UAE’s National Energy Strategy 2050 target of increasing the contribution of clean energy to fifty percent (50%) of the installed power capacity mix by 2050 and achieving UAE Net Zero by 2050. UAE will host the 28th Conference of the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) in November 2023.
