in the UAE. The JV aims to establish 2 GW of
renewable energy capacity by 2030. For example,
Engie and Masdar are working with Fertiglobe to
build a 200-MW green ammonia production facility.
Fertiglobe will be the sole offtaker and plans to
use it for carbon-neutral fertilizer production.
* Masdar is also working with Uniper to build a
1.3-GW solar plant to produce green H2
.
* Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. (ADNOC) is
developing a 1-MMtpy blue ammonia plant at the
TA'ZIZ Industrial Facility in Ruwais. The plant is
scheduled to begin operations in 2025. ADNOC
also plans to utilize a portion of natural gas from
its multi-billion-dollar Hail and Shasha sour gas
development to produce low-carbon H2
Although major onshore/offshore contracts were
canceled in late April/early May 2023, ADNOC is
pursuing the mega project's development. These
projects are part of ADNOC's $15-B initiative to
boost clean power production, CCS projects and
other energy transition developments.
* Abu Dhabi plans to build a $1-B green ammonia
production facility in KIZAD. The facility includes an
800-MW solar farm to produce green H2
, which will
be converted into 200,000 tpy of green ammonia.
The product is destined for the export market.

* Brooge is working with several companies to build
a solar park and green ammonia production plant
in Abu Dhabi. The projects will be built in two
phases. Once fully operational, the export-oriented
facility will produce 1,950 tpd of green ammonia.
The UAE is also conducting feasibility studies on using
for mass transportation. This includes a

Other Middle Eastern projects/initiatives. Additional
green H2
projects/initiatives in the Middle East include:
* Bahrain: The country's Sustainable Energy
Authority is planning on investing $150 MM
to build a green H2
plant.
* Israel: The country opened its first H2
fueling station
in mid-2023 for heavy-duty trucks. Israel plans to
increase green H2

* Jordan: Jordan Green Ammonia-a JV between Hynfra
and Fidelity Group-is developing a 100,000-tpy-
200,000-tpy green ammonia plant in the Aqaba
Special Economic Zone. According to the Jordanian
government, a dozen other companies are interested
in investing in the country's domestic green H2
production initiatives. However, one major challenge
holding investors back is a well-defined H2
framework, which has not been developed yet.

THE U.S.
In June, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) released
the U.S. National Clean Hydrogen Strategy and Roadmap.
This report builds on the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL)
passed in November 2021, which allocated more than $60 B
for the U.S. DOE, including $9.5 B to boost domestic green
H2
produc-part
of the U.S.'s national
hubs. These regional
networks (FIG. 15) will enable producers and
consumers to share infrastructure (e.g., distribution,
production, storage) to facilitate green H2
build H2
economies around major demand centers.
The U.S. DOE has allocated $7 B to establish six-10
regional clean-H2
hubs in the country. The original
allocation was $8 B; however, the U.S. DOE has
diverted $1 B to stimulate domestic H2
(e.g., additional H2 project support, funding for
feasibility studies for H2
H2 hubs, the creation of a " market maker " to
provide a central purchaser/seller of clean H2
demand
offtakers near domestic
).50
Of the nearly 80 concept papers received, the U.S.
DOE invited more than 30 groups to submit a full
application for potential funding. In October 2023,
the U.S. DOE announced more than $7 B to seven
recipients for funding:
a. Appalachian H2
hub (ARCH2): $925 MM
production. The report provides various pathways for
U.S. producers to incrementally increase clean H2
tion to 10 MMtpy by 2030, 20 MMtpy by 2040 and up to 50
MMtpy by 2050. The roadmap48
decarbonization goals of 100% carbon pollution-free electricity
by 2035 and net-zero GHG emissions by 2050-
details three key strategies to effectively maximize the U.S.'s
clean H2
production potential:
1. Target strategic, high-impact uses for clean H2
This aspect focuses on using green H2
to
decarbonize heavy-to-abate industrial sectors, such
as chemicals and petrochemicals production, oil
refining, steelmaking and heavy-duty transportation,
as well as increasing clean H2
exports.
2. Reducing the production cost of clean H2
.
This initiative is part of the U.S. DOE's Energy
Earthshot's Hydrogen Shot program to reduce
the cost of green H2
Active projects/initiatives. Building off the enactment
of the BIL and IRA, numerous H2

one decade (i.e., the 1-1-1 plan). To reach this goal,
significant investments must be made in green H2
production, infrastructure, storage and distribution,
and supply chains, among several other areas.

According to the U.S. H2
roadmap, midstream
infrastructure investments must scale
to $2 B/yr-$3 B/yr from 2023-2030, increasing
to $15 B/yr-$20 B/yr from 2030-2050.
These investments will not only grow regional
