據電力新聞2021年5月6日迪拜報道，作為在歐佩克第三大石油生產國創建綠色氫氣產業努力的一部分，德國西門子能源公司和阿聯酋清潔能源公司馬斯達爾公司預計在2022年前在阿聯酋首都建成一個氫試驗廠，并將重點放在可持續航空燃料上。

　　馬斯達爾和西門子能源今年1月簽署了一份諒解備忘錄，與總部位于阿布扎比的阿提哈德航空公司、德國漢莎航空公司、日本丸紅株式會社、阿布扎比能源部和哈利法大學合作開發這個氫試驗廠。

　　諒解備忘錄包括建造一個光伏發電電解槽設施，這個設施將展示SAF的生產，向阿布扎比乘用車和公交車提供綠色氫，以及向海事部門提供清潔燃料。

　　馬斯達爾公司清潔能源代理執行主任Fawaz Al Muharrami表示：“這個設想由一個20兆瓦光伏發電廠提供電力的氫演示器將由不同開發商以尚未確定的成本提供資金。”

　　Muharrami說：“一旦我們評估了這一(西門子能源公司的)氫技術和這項技術的整合，我們隨后能夠在未來將其擴大到商業規模的項目。”“當然，我們希望運營這個試驗廠2到3年，以確保工廠能夠擴大規模，然后我們將能夠就此提供一個最終結論。”

　　Siemens Energy, Masdar to build pilot UAE hydrogen plant by 2022

　　Siemens Energy and UAE-based clean energy firm Masdar expect a hydrogen demonstrator plant to be built by 2022 in the country's capital and to focus on showcasing sustainable aviation fuel as part of efforts to create a green hydrogen industry in OPEC's third-biggest producer.

　　Masdar and Siemens signed a memorandum of understanding in January to develop the demonstrator plant in partnership with Abu Dhabi-based Etihad Airways, Lufthansa, Marubeni Corp., Abu Dhabi Department of Energy and Khalifa University.

　　The MOU included the construction of a photovoltaic power electrolyzer facility that will showcase the production of SAF, green hydrogen for passenger cars and buses in Abu Dhabi, and clean fuels for the maritime sector.

　　The hydrogen demonstrator, which is envisaged to be powered by a PV plant producing as much as 20 MW, will be financed by different developers at a cost that has yet to be determined, Fawaz Al Muharrami, acting executive director of clean energy at Masdar said in a recent interview.

　　"once of course we evaluate this [Siemens Energy hydrogen] technology and integration of this technology then we would be able to scale up this into the commercial scaled-up project in the future," Muharrami said. "Definitely, we are looking to run the plant for like 2 to 3 years to ensure the plant is able to scale up and then we will be able to provide a final conclusion on this."
