Storage: The Linchpin for a Future-Proof, Integrated Energy Ecosystem in the UAE

The 29th issue of Dar Magazine brings together stories of how Sidara, Penspen’s parent company, and its brands are managing a transformational nationwide initiative to support over 60 million of Egypt’s poorest and most vulnerable people, developing new automation tools, exploring emerging European markets for data centres, and spotlighting the exceptional potential of green hydrogen storage in the United Arab Emirates.

In this issue, Penspen’s feature includes Bilal Hassan and Nigel Curson, who explore the critical role of green hydrogen storage in the UAE’s energy transition, focusing on the industrial hub of Ruwais, where large-scale grey hydrogen production currently supports key sectors like ammonia and petrochemicals. They highlight green hydrogen’s potential to decarbonise these industries, enhance energy resilience, and support an integrated, future-proofed energy ecosystem.

Our technical experts discuss the challenges and opportunities surrounding hydrogen production and storage, examining grey, blue, and green hydrogen pathways, and detail how innovative storage solutions, including underground salt caverns can provide long-duration energy storage, critical for balancing renewable energy supply and demand.
