The goal of the RICH center is to deploy solutions for clean energy and sustainable fuels, contributing to achieving the net-zero goals. The vision of the RICH Center is to become a world-leading Research and Innovation Center in the use of combined modeling-experimental approaches for the development and deployment of solutions for decarbonization, clean energy and sustainable fuels, centered in three main areas: CO2 capture, utilization and storage, low-carbon hydrogen production and applications, and sustainable fuels.

Impact:

• Deliver high quality research and innovative solutions in CCUS, Hydrogen and sustainable fuels, to increase the visibility and impact of KU.
• Develop and implement low-carbon energy systems reducing CO2 and GHG emissions.
• Produce high-added-value products from CO2 and large-scale uses of CO2 with final users that will help diversify the economy.
• Address the industry needs in the hard-to-abate sectors by deploying decarbonization and hydrogen solutions.
• Develop sustainable fuels from CO2, hydrogen, waste (agricultural and municipal solid waste) and biological processes, based on the concept of circular economy.
• Provide science-based consultancy to the government agencies supporting the deployment of the hydrogen strategy for the UAE and the net zero roadmap.
• Support UAE’s involvement in the Paris Innovation Missions and other international collaboration such as Carbon Sequestration Leadership Forum (CSLF), the Institute of Energy Economics of Japan (IEEJ) and bilateral agreements centered on hydrogen, CCUS and/or sustainable fuels.
• Reinforce and expand international collaborations of organizations working in the field.
• Train highly skilled scientists and engineers in clean energy, hydrogen and new technologies related to sustainable fuels.
• Provide educated information and awareness to society about CCUS, hydrogen and sustainable fuels in the context of net zero emissions.
