By GlobalDataMasdar aims to produce 100GW of renewable power by the end of the decade from current 20GW.
It also set a target to produce as much as one million tonnes of green hydrogen every year, and derivatives such as sustainable aviation fuel, ammonia and green methanol by the end of 2030.
Masdar is also working on hydrogen facilities in Morocco, Egypt, Azerbaijan and the UK.
Countries including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Egypt are investing on projects that produce green and blue hydrogen.
Said to be crucial to the transition worldwide to clean energy, green hydrogen is created when water is split into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable energy. When burned, it does not emit gases that warm the planet.
Blue hydrogen is produced by natural gas conversion and capturing the subsequent carbon emissions.
