The United Arab Emirates aims to become a major hydrogen producer, contributing to the oil-rich state’s effort to slash polluting carbon emissions by nearly a quarter.
The Middle Eastern country will use carbon-capture technologies to create what’s known as blue hydrogen, Sultan Al Jaber, chief executive officer of Abu Dhabi National Oil Co., said at a virtual conference on Tuesday. Abu Dhabi is the UAE’s capital and holds most of the OPEC member’s oil and gas.
