UAE to open facility that converts waste to green hydrogen
The Gulf state already has one waste-to-energy plant and is looking to build more.
The Sharjah-based sustainability company BEEAH Group signed an agreement Tuesday to build the first waste-to-hydrogen power plant in the United Arab Emirates.
BEEAH signed a memorandum of understanding with the Japanese gas conglomerate Air Water and the British waste-to-fuel technology firm Chinook Sciences. They will work together to develop a facility in Sharjah that will convert waste wood and plastic into hydrogen that can be used for fuel. The facility will also include a fueling station for vehicles, the official Emirates News Agency reported.
The chair of BEEAH’s board of directors is Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, the wife of Sharjah ruler Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi.
Chinook and BEEAH first announced their intentions to work together on hydrogen energy in 2021.
