Enoc Group, RTA collaborate for use of green hydrogen in mobility
Gulf Today, Staff Reporter In a move to drive the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030 and support the development of the UAE's green hydrogen economy, Enoc Group, a leading integrated global energy player, and Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) have signed a trial agreement to explore the feasibility of green hydrogen-powered mobility solutions in the emirate of Dubai. This landmark collaboration marks a significant step forward in the country's hydrogen journey, building upon Enoc Group's successful commissioning of its green hydrogen station at Expo City Dubai during COP28. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), signed at Enoc Group Headquarters by Burhan Al Hashemi, Managing Director, Enoc Commercial and International Sales, and Ahmed Hashem Bahrozyan, Chief Executive Officer of The Public Transport Agency (PTA) at RTA, and witnessed by His Excellency Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO, Enoc, will see both Enoc Group and RTA cooperating in a study to develop the use of green hydrogen in mobility. Under the agreement, Enoc Group will supply green hydrogen fuel to RTA's hydrogen-powered city buses. Enoc will also provide technical support and data on green hydrogen refuelling to assist RTA in conducting a comprehensive feasibility study. Both parties are committed to upholding the highest safety and operational standards throughout the project. His Excellency Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO, Enoc, said: 'At Enoc, we are committed to building a more sustainable future for all, and our partnership with RTA is a testament to our collective vision for a brighter tomorrow in line with the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030. Green hydrogen represents a compelling alternative to traditional energy sources, and as the UAE is focused on developing a hydrogen economy, we are proud to be at the forefront of its adoption in the UAE.' For his part, Ahmed Bahrozyan, CEO of Public Transport Agency at RTA, praised the agreement, considering it an important step towards expanding cooperation between RTA and Enoc Group in the field of using green hydrogen to operate RTA's transportation means, including public buses and marine transport to make them more sustainable and environmentally friendly, in line with the UAE's directions and plans in the domains of green economy and environmental sustainability and their impact on the health and happiness of the population.

Green hydrogen, produced by the electrolysis of water using renewable electricity such as solar and wind, emits zero carbon dioxide (CO2) during the production process. In addition to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and diversifying energy sources, green hydrogen increases the driving range of vehicles. Therefore, it is one of the cleanest forms of energy with zero emission. It is worth mentioning that Enoc Group is sourcing green hydrogen from Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in association with DEWA. Enoc Group is a leading integrated global energy player and a wholly owned entity of the Government of Dubai that is integral to the Emirate's success. Enoc owns and operates assets in the fields of exploration & production, supply & operations, terminals, fuel retail, aviation fuel and petroleum products for commercial & industrial use. The Group's general business operations include automotive services, non-fuel F&B retail and fabrication services. Servicing thousands of customers in over 60 markets, the Group employs a multi-national workforce of over 12,500 employees and is deploying its world-class customer service, latest innovations, and technologies as well as best practices to empower the UAE's social and economic development. Meanwhile, As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility strategy, and its ongoing commitment to the values of giving, Enoc Group, in collaboration with Beit Al Khair Society, host a Ramadan iftar tent in Al Jaddaf, near Sultan Rashid Bin Qaba Mosque. Operating daily the tent will provide around 450 Iftar meals per day, with a target of serving over 13,000 meals throughout the holy month. With a capacity of 500 people, the 500 sqm tent will focus on providing a welcoming and nourishing Iftar experience. The initiative is part of Enoc's Ramadan community outreach and aligns with the UAE's 'Year of Community' goals, emphasizing the importance of social responsibility to foster a united and empowered community. Commenting on the initiative, Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO, Enoc, said: 'We are pleased to launch the Ramadan Iftar Tent in the Al Jaddaf area, in partnership with Beit Al Khair Society, as a step that reaffirms our deep commitment to the values of generosity and social solidarity during the holy month.'
