With the month of February unfolding, new developments seem to pop out with regard to the much awaited Dubai Expo 2020.

Solar-driven hydrogen electrolysis facility unveiled at Dubai’s Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park

The new month saw the introduction of a ground-breaking facility, a first-of-its-kind in the region which will showcase the immense potential of green hydrogen as a carbon-free energy source, further pressing on the country’s efforts towards a more sustainable future. 

The solar-driven hydrogen electrolysis facility has been created through a collaboration between Expo 2020 Dubai, DEWA and Siemens. 

During Expo 2020, green hydrogen generated by the facility will power fuel-cell vehicles to travel the 50 kilometre distance between the Expo 2020 site and Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, thereby demonstrating one of the many possible uses of clean energy sources.
