Green Hydrogen Beyond The Hype: Water, Grids, Infrastructure and Regulation in MENA

Green hydrogen has moved rapidly from a niche technological concept to a central element of many energy-transition strategies. It is particularly relevant to MENA countries because several of them combine strong solar and wind resources with existing energy infrastructure and proximity to major European markets. At the same time, the sector is entering a more realistic phase. The International Energy Agency (IEA) reports that the global pipeline of announced low-emissions hydrogen production projects for 2030 has fallen to about 27 Mt, while uncertain demand, complex regulation, financing and infrastructure remain important barriers [1].
