The company has developed and partnered in projects in over 40 countries, with a mandate to increase its renewable energy portfolio capacity to 100GW by 2030 and to become a leading producer of green hydrogen by the same year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company PJSC \u2013 Masdar, the UAE\u2019s clean energy powerhouse, has signed an agreement with TotalEnergies to assess the viability of developing a commercial green hydrogen to methanol to SAF (Sustainable Aviation Fuel) project.
