According to Amac News: The plan is designed in collaboration with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure of the UAE (MoEI) and international technology partners, like Chinook Hydrogen from the UK and Air Water Inc. from Japan and will be established in Sharjah.
This project seeks to create a new way to produce and use green hydrogen to produce pollution-free energy and transport with hydrogen fuel.
The plant uses Chinook Hydrogen's patented gasification and pyrolysis technologies and Air Water Inc.'s advanced hydrogen purification technology. It will use and is supposed to produce cell fuel quality hydrogen from a variety of organic wastes, including municipal solid waste.
In the first phase, the plant is expected to start operating in the second quarter of 2027 and produce 7 tons of green hydrogen per day, which is equivalent to 2,560 tons per year.
In the process, the plant will also manage and convert thousands of tons of waste each year, avoiding the emission of about 30,000 tons of greenhouse gases.
In addition, the plant will produce useful byproducts such as biogenic carbon dioxide, which can help produce alternative fuels, and nitrogen, a valuable gas for a variety of industrial applications.
This advanced technology was demonstrated for the first time in 2023 in a pilot plant in Nottingham, UK, and then presented at the UAE COP28 exhibition in the presence of representatives of the Ministry of Energy and Petroleum Affairs.
The technology to produce hydrogen from waste at this plant has been verified by independent international consultants and has a technology readiness level between 6 and 7, indicating its readiness to be demonstrated in operational environments and scaled up.
After the first phase, BEEAH and international partners plan to increase the production capacity to 20 tons of green hydrogen per day.
The UAE aims to become one of the world's leading hydrogen production hubs by 2031, and BEEAH is continuously looking for ways to contribute to this national goal.
