In the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, green hydrogen is quickly emerging as a key player in the transition to a sustainable energy future. In our latest technical article, Penspen experts explore the growing potential of green hydrogen production, focusing on the technologies, costs, and strategies shaping its future in the region.
The article covers critical elements of the green hydrogen value chain, including solar power generation, utility-scale battery storage, electrolysers, and hydrogen storage solutions. With decreasing costs and abundant solar resources, the GCC is well positioned to achieve low-cost green hydrogen production, with projections of a Levelized Cost of Hydrogen (LCOH) as low as 2 USD/kg within the next few years.
Key topics covered:
- Overview of the green hydrogen value chain and key technologies involved.
- In-depth analysis of the cost drivers and projections for hydrogen production costs in the GCC.
- The role of Chinese manufacturers in making green hydrogen more affordable.
- Future potential for green hydrogen in meeting global energy demands.
Download the full paper to discover how the GCC is positioned to become a leading hub for green hydrogen production and the technologies driving this transformation.
