SNOC, Siemens Energy & Decahydron to Collaborate & Explore Natural Hydrogen Power Project in Sharjah

Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC) and Siemens Energy will collaborate with Decahydron, a natural hydrogen and carbon mineralisation company, to assess the feasibility of utilising natural hydrogen in power generation or other industrial uses in the northern Emirates.

The collaboration expands ongoing technical studies by Decahydron and SNOC on an existing exploration well in Sharjah to assess the Emirate’s natural hydrogen potential. Early results are encouraging, with drilling planned for 2026 in order to provide detailed resource data and measured flow rates.

The project will examine the use of natural hydrogen directly for power generation or other industrial uses, avoiding the costs of storage and transport while creating a new low-carbon energy source for the UAE, which could be used for energy-intensive facilities such as data centres.

Decahydron is advancing a natural hydrogen and CO₂ mineralisation project in Sharjah and is working to validate the scale of the resource.

Siemens Energy will leverage its extensive expertise in energy technology to support the feasibility work, drawing on prior experience with hydrogen solutions. The company will also provide analytical insights to help assess the commercial potential and contribute to shaping the strategic direction of the project as it progresses toward potential implementation.
