Which Factor Holds Sway Over Nafion Sales in MEA?

“Efforts to Improve Green Hydrogen Production Capacity”

Green hydrogen has recently gained massive popularity as the only viable solution to combat the imminent threat of climate change and curb emissions. The whole world is working on developing sustainable green hydrogen-driven economies and countries in the Middle East & Africa region are also playing their part in this.

Investments in green hydrogen production and transportation infrastructure are breaking records in the Middle East & Africa thereby creating an opportune scenario for Nafion companies as well. Nafion materials play a crucial role in the production of hydrogen in a sustainable manner and their high efficiency makes them a perfect choice for renewable energy storage as well.

  • Oman, a country in the Middle East is aiming to become one of the leading producers of hydrogen in the world by pumping US$ 30 billion worth of investments in the country. Oman plans to achieve its hydrogen economy goal by the end of 2030.
