The Emirati National Oil Company (ADNOC) inaugurated the region's first high-speed green hydrogen pilot station to test a fleet of zero-emission hydrogen vehicles less than a week before the start of the COP28 Climate Summit in Dubai.
The official Emirati news agency reported that the station, located on land donated by Masdar City, will create green hydrogen from water using an electrolyzer powered by clean electricity from the grid.
The pilot station called "H2GO" is supported by the Abu Dhabi Integrated Transport Center and high-speed refueling has been supplied by Linde, a world-leading industrial gases and engineering company.

Throughout the pilot project, the fleet of hydrogen vehicles has been supplied by Toyota, Al Futtaim Motors and BMW, and will be tested by taxi companies, including Tawasul, the agency said.
ADNOC's Executive Director of Low Carbon Emission Solutions and International Growth, Musabbeh Al Kaabi, inaugurated the launch of this "unique high-speed green hydrogen refueling station" and indicated that they continue to collaborate with "local and international companies in innovative technologies and low-carbon solutions that can accelerate decarbonization and support a responsible energy transition ," according to WAM.
Hydrogen is an energy vector that does not generate carbon dioxide (CO2) when used.
Therefore, no carbon is emitted into the atmosphere from production to final use. According to WAM, ADNOC has allocated an initial amount of $15 billion to advance low-carbon solutions and develop decarbonization technologies to reduce its carbon intensity by 25% by 2030 and enable its zero-emissions ambition by 2045. .
The Emirates, one of the world's largest oil producers, will host COP28 from November 30 to December 12.
