BEEAH, the Middle East’s sustainability pioneer, Chinook Hydrogen, a UK-based innovator of waste-to-fuel technologies, and Air Water Gas Solutions, a US-based industrial gas company and a subsidiary of Air Water Inc., a leading Japanese conglomerate with advanced industrial gases technologies, have entered into a joint development agreement (JDA) to develop the world’s first commercial-scale waste-to-hydrogen plant in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. This agreement builds on several breakthroughs achieved in the company’s waste-to-hydrogen demonstration plant.
The JDA was signed at the UAE Pavilion, COP28, by Ishmael Chalabi, President and CEO of Air Water Gas Solutions, Dr. Rifat Chalabi, CEO and Co-Founder of Chinook Hydrogen, and Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO of BEEAH Group, in the presence of Sharif Al Olama, Under-Secretary for Energy and Petroleum Affairs at the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI).
The hydrogen-from-waste demonstration facility has made significant strides in demonstrating an appealing, carbon-negative method of producing green hydrogen from garbage, and the JDA will build on this accomplishment.
Similar to the fuel cell found in hydrogen fuel cell vehicles like the Toyota Mirai, the demonstration plant converts a variety of organic-based waste, such as Municipal Solid Waste (MSW), non-recyclable plastics, and wood waste, into super green hydrogen. This hydrogen is then connected to a Toyota fuel-cell unit that produces power from the hydrogen produced.
