The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is actively diversifying its energy mix, moving from 90%+ fossil fuel reliance toward cleaner sources, with natural gas still dominating at roughly 60% of total energy supply in 2023. The nation is integrating significant nuclear (approaching 20% of electricity) and solar energy to meet targets for 2050.

The United Arab Emirates is rapidly establishing itself as a global leader in green hydrogen, aiming for 1.4 million tons of annual low carbon/green hydrogen production by 2030-2031. Backed by the National Hydrogen Strategy 2050, the UAE is investing in solar-powered electrolysis projects via Masdar to fuel local industry and export to Europe and Asia.
