ENOC Group partners with RTA to trial green hydrogen as an alternative fuel in Dubai.

The initiative supports the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030 and the UAE’s hydrogen economy goals.

ENOC will fuel RTA's hydrogen-powered buses and provide operational data for feasibility studies.

The collaboration aims to deploy green hydrogen across public buses and marine transport networks.

Green hydrogen, produced via renewable energy, emits zero CO2, aiding Dubai's carbon footprint reduction.

In a promising move towards greener transport in Dubai, ENOC Group has teamed up with the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on a new trial exploring the potential of green hydrogen as an alternative fuel source. The partnership is part of Dubai's wider efforts to steer towards the objectives set out in the Dubai Green Mobility Strategy 2030, boosting the UAE’s credentials in the green hydrogen economy along the way.

The agreement, which was officialy penned at ENOC Group headquarters, saw Burhan Al Hashemi, Managing Director of ENOC Commercial and International Sales, and Ahmed Hashem Bahrozyan, CEO of the Public Transport Agency at RTA, join forces, with Saif Humaid Al Falasi, ENOC’s Group CEO, looking on.

Over the coming weeks, ENOC will supply green hydrogen fuel specifically to power hydrogen-fuelled city buses operated by RTA. More than just fuel, ENOC will also support with technical advice and vital operational data necessary for RTA’s team to carry out a comprehensive feasibility study. It's a real team effort between the two heavyweights, who've committed to sticking closely to stringent safety and operational standards for the project’s duration.

Speaking at the signing event, Saif Humaid Al Falasi highlighted the importance of embracing clean energy solutions. “Green hydrogen presents a promising alternative to conventional energy sources, and with the UAE committed to developing a hydrogen economy, we are proud to be at the forefront of its adoption in the country,” he said.

Ahmed Hashem Bahrozyan was equally optimistic, noting that this move supports both organisations' sustainability goals. He described it as a key milestone towards broadening the cooperation between ENOC and RTA, aiming at deploying green hydrogen across various transport networks—from public buses to marine transport—making them significantly cleaner and kinder to the environment.

Unlike some traditional fuels, green hydrogen can be produced by splitting water through electrolysis powered by renewable energy sources such as solar or wind. The process itself emits absolutely zero carbon dioxide (CO2), a huge plus point for cities looking to shrink their carbon footprints.

Personally, this sort of initiative reminds me of how quickly Dubai adopts fresh and innovative solutions—much like the diverse food scene here, from tasty shawarmas on street corners to high-end restaurants, the city has a knack for taking the best ideas from around the world and running with them. And as the folks at Arageek might agree, there's certainly lots to be optimistic about here; it seems greener times are truly within reach for Emirati commuters.
