Solar sourced green hydrogen to transform mena into major electrolyser installer

Green hydrogen sustainably sourced through solar is set to turn the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) into the world’s second-largest electrolyser installer by 2040, the World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi heard today.

The optimistic forecast came from the Secretary General of the Middle East Solar Industry Association (MESIA), Denisa Fainis, as she presented the Association’s Solar Outlook Report 2023 to attendees at the Solar & Clean Energy Forum – one of six specialised vertical events in the Summit’s overall programme.

Fainis said that if MENA realised its production potential – which would see it account for 20% of global green hydrogen production – it would also become a main supply chain hub given its geographic positioning between Asia and Europe.
