The United Arab Emirates is ramping up efforts to position itself as a global hub for low-emission hydrogen, with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure participating in the World Hydrogen Summit & Exhibition in Rotterdam, one of the leading international gatherings focused on the future of hydrogen and sustainable energy systems.
The summit brought together policymakers, industry leaders, and energy experts to discuss the role of hydrogen in accelerating the global energy transition and strengthening sustainable energy infrastructure, according to the Emirates News Agency.
As part of its participation, the UAE also joined the International Hydrogen Trade Forum, which explored strategies to strengthen hydrogen trade and improve the integration of global supply chains.
According to the ministry, the UAE’s participation reflects the country’s commitment to advancing its National Hydrogen Strategy, which aims to establish an integrated hydrogen ecosystem spanning production, transport, storage, and utilization.
The strategy forms part of the UAE’s broader efforts to support climate neutrality targets, strengthen long-term energy security, and expand its presence in future energy sectors.
During discussions at the summit, the ministry highlighted the importance of collaboration among governments, private-sector companies, financial institutions, and technology providers to build a sustainable and efficient global hydrogen economy capable of supporting resilient, low-emission energy systems.
The UAE also stressed the need for greater alignment between international, regional, and local hydrogen standards to accelerate market growth and facilitate cross-border trade across increasingly complex hydrogen value chains.
The ministry used the platform to showcase the country’s decarbonization efforts across key sectors, including the development of policy frameworks for sustainable aviation fuel, support for clean energy innovation, and the expansion of international partnerships to advance the low-emission economy.
The ministry said the UAE continues to pursue an energy transition model built on diversification, innovation, and strategic partnerships, reinforcing the country’s competitiveness in emerging energy industries while supporting sustainable development goals and the growth of the green economy.
