Hydrogen is a versatile energy carrier that can play  an important role in the transition to a cleaner, lower-carbon energy system, as it generates  zero emissions at point of use and can be produced from low-carbon electricity or from carbon-abated fossil fuels. 

Hydrogen is expected to play a critical role in the global transition towards lower carbon energy sources. Considered an enabler of international decarbonization and sustainable development strategies, hydrogen is expected to account for as much as 18% of global energy demand by 2050.

ESCO in Hydrogen

ESCO believes that Hydrogen and its carrier fuels have great potential as new, low carbon fuels, that Abu Dhabi and the UAE are well placed to capitalize upon.

His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed mandated ADNOC to explore potential opportunities in Hydrogen with the ambition to position the UAE as a Hydrogen leader. ADNOC is already a producer of over 300 kt per year of Hydrogen in its downstream facilities, which is largely used for industrial purposes. It has existing plans to increase Hydrogen production to 500 kt per annum and is exploring several new growth opportunities. ADNOC will also advance a world-scale 1 million tons per annum “blue” ammonia production facility in Ruwais, Abu Dhabi. The facility, will be developed at the new TA’ZIZ industrial ecosystem and chemicals hub underscoring the favourable economics for blue ammonia as an emerging source of low-carbon energy. ESCO supports this mandate and supports ADNOC’s exploration by seeking the very best in class, specialist support services and market leading state of the art technologies to fulfil these commitments and rising to meet the energy needs of tomorrow.
