ADNOC will combine TAQA’s expertise in renewable energy to progress the green hydrogen development project.
The total renewable energy generating capacity is being reported at 30 Gigawatts, with the goal of positioning Abu Dhabi and the United Arab Emirates at the forefront of the energy transition and further its global leadership role in green hydrogen.
