SNOC has announced a new collaboration with Siemens Energy and Decahydron to explore the potential of natural hydrogen in the northern Emirates.
This partnership builds on ongoing technical studies in Sharjah to assess the Emirate’s natural hydrogen potential — with encouraging early results and drilling planned for 2026. The project aims to evaluate using natural hydrogen directly for power generation and industrial applications, creating a new low-carbon energy source for the UAE.
His Excellency Khamis Al Mazrouei, SNOC’s CEO, says: ‘We look forward to advancing this feasibility study in parallel with our ongoing exploration activities. The potential discovery of natural hydrogen could mark a new chapter in Sharjah’s energy landscape — providing an abundant, naturally occurring source of clean energy. If proven viable, it would not only strengthen Sharjah’s role in the national energy transition but also reaffirm SNOC’s commitment to driving sustainable, secure, and resilient energy solutions for generations to come.’
