Green Hydrogen Project: Totalenergies Joins Masdar And Siemens Energy

Global energy company TotalEnergies has joined Masdar and Siemens Energy on a project that aims to produce green hydrogen to decarbonise the aviation industry.

An agreement signed by TotalEnergies, Masdar and Siemens Energy at Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week will see the three companies co-develop a green hydrogen production plant under a pilot project in Masdar City.

Other project partners include the Abu Dhabi Department of Energy, Etihad Airways, Lufthansa Group, Khalifa University of Science and Technology and Marubeni Corporation.

The project will leverage TotalEnergies’ experience within the energy sector and Sustainable Aviation Fuels (SAF) production.

The initiative aims to pave the way for the commercial production of sustainable aviation fuels by reducing production costs.

Since the project was announced in January 2021, Masdar and partners have completed a range of evaluations on technology suppliers, feasibility studies and conceptual designs, while working closely with regulators on compliance issues.
