The Middle East & Africa Green Hydrogen Market was valued at USD 49.93 Million in 2023 and is expected to grow at a strong CAGR of around 51.8% during the forecast period (2024-2032). This is owing to the development of green hydrogen which has emerged as a priority for multilateral institutions and private funders.
The Middle East and Africa are poised to become major players in the burgeoning green hydrogen market, driven by abundant renewable energy resources, government support, and strategic partnerships. The region’s vast solar and wind potential offers a cost-effective pathway to produce green hydrogen through electrolysis, positioning it as a key solution for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors like heavy industry and transportation. For instance: In Oman, the HYPORT Duqm project, a collaboration between OQ and DEME Concessions, aims to produce 250-500 megawatts of green hydrogen by 2029, powered by solar and wind energy. Egypt is also emerging as a hub, with the Suez Canal Economic Zone attracting significant investments in green hydrogen projects. For instance, Scatec ASA, Fertiglobe, and the Sovereign Fund of Egypt have partnered to develop a 100-megawatt green hydrogen facility in Ain Sokhna.
Growing Hydrogen Infrastructure Development in Middle East & Africa.
Several countries in the Middle East and Africa region are rich in renewable energy resources and strategically positioned to become key players in the global green hydrogen market. For example, with its abundant solar resources, Saudi Arabia has announced plans to develop a $5 billion green hydrogen plant in Neom, as part of its broader Vision 2030 strategy to diversify its economy and reduce its reliance on oil exports. Similarly, Morocco, with significant solar and wind potential, has launched the Green Hydrogen consortium to explore opportunities for green hydrogen production and export. The country is also home to the Noor Ouarzazate solar complex, one of the largest concentrated solar power plants in the world, which could potentially be used to power green hydrogen production in the future.
Vast potential for renewable energy generation:
Countries in the region, such as Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, and South Africa, have abundant solar and wind resources that are ideal for producing green hydrogen through the process of electrolysis. By harnessing these natural resources, these countries can establish themselves as key players in the global green hydrogen market and reduce their dependence on fossil fuels. For instance: the United Arab Emirates has launched the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, which includes the production of green hydrogen as a key pillar in achieving its sustainability goals.
Furthermore, the development of green hydrogen projects in the Middle East and Africa presents an opportunity for economic growth and diversification. By investing in green hydrogen infrastructure, countries in the region can create new job opportunities, attract foreign investment, and foster innovation in the clean energy sector. This can help stimulate economic development and reduce reliance on traditional oil and gas industries.
Saudi Arabia is Expected to Grow with Significant CAGR During Forecast Period
Saudi Arabia has emerged as a key player in the Middle East and Africa green hydrogen market, harnessing its abundant renewable resources and leveraging its strategic position as a global energy powerhouse. The Kingdom has been actively pursuing initiatives aimed at developing a robust green hydrogen ecosystem, contributing significantly to the regional and global efforts towards decarbonization and sustainable energy transitions. For instance: Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund (SAPIF) aims to invest in several energy projects globally, including a joint venture with Power and Air Products to develop a $5 billion green hydrogen-based ammonia production facility in NEOM, Saudi Arabia. The facility will have a capacity of 1.2 GW and will produce 650 tons of green hydrogen per day.
The green hydrogen market is competitive and fragmented, with the presence of several Middle East & African and international market players. The key players are adopting different growth strategies to enhance their market presence, such as partnerships, agreements, collaborations, new product launches, geographical expansions, and mergers and acquisitions.
