The Middle East represents a big opportunity and a very promising region for us, given the high levels of solar exposure, strong appetite for green hydrogen projects, and strategic geographic position between Europe and Asia. In this regard, green hydrogen is currently in a similar position to that of solar power a decade ago.

In the depths of the 1970s oil crisis, French prime minister Pierre Messmer saw an opportunity to transform his country’s energy supply. Spain plans to start phasing out in 2027. So, incidentally, will natural gas, which the current German government actually favored.) The obvious answer might be solar and wind.

With wind and solar prices dropping, it can be easy to forget that two-thirds of the globe’s renewable energy comes from hydropower. They help stop floods and supply farms and families with water, but they’re not generating electricity—especially in developing countries. Most dams weren’t, in fact, actually built for hydropower.
