Dubai News: The Emirates Nuclear Energy Corporation (ENEC) said on Wednesday that it was set to produce 85 per cent of Abu Dhabi’s clean electricity by 2025.
The Barakah nuclear power plant has the potential to produce one million tonnes of hydrogen per year, Mohamed Ibrahim Al Hammadi, Chief Executive of ENEC, said at an energy conference, adding that this low carbon fuel is essential to transition to a net zero world.
The plant in Abu Dhabi, Capital of the UAE, is the first nuclear power plant in the Arab world and is part of the Gulf oil producer’s efforts to diversify its energy mix.
