The World Future Energy Summit in Abu Dhabi from January 13-15, 2026, will focus on UAE-UK collaboration in green hydrogen. The UK aims for 10GW of low-carbon hydrogen production by 2030, with 5GW from renewables.

The UAE's expertise in Carbon Capture, Utilization, and Storage (CCUS) and renewable energy integration will support the UK's goals. The summit will facilitate discussions on strategic partnerships and funding opportunities.

The UK requires £9 billion in private investment to meet its hydrogen targets, with the government committing £500 million for infrastructure. The UAE is investing billions in its own projects, including the £5.2 billion Ta'ziz Industrial Hub. The collaboration aims to leverage both countries' strengths to enhance green hydrogen production and address the global demand for decarbonization.
