NEOM Green Hydrogen Project Nears Completion in Saudi Arabia
Key Ideas
  • NEOM Green Hydrogen Project in Saudi Arabia is 80% complete, with plans for the largest green ammonia facility globally.
  • Expected to be operational within two years, the project aligns with Saudi Vision 2030 and aims to produce 600 metric tonnes of green hydrogen daily.
  • Saudi Arabia's progress contrasts with global challenges in green hydrogen projects, with NGHC securing potential demand commitments for a substantial portion of its production capacity.
  • ACWA Power's agreement with SEFE signifies strong interest from European buyers, contributing to efforts for a 'hydrogen bridge' between Saudi Arabia and Europe.
Saudi Arabia's NEOM Green Hydrogen Project, a joint venture by ACWA Power, Air Products, and NEOM, has made significant progress with 80% of its construction work completed. The project, located in the futuristic city of NEOM, includes a large-scale green hydrogen production facility, solar and wind farms, and an integrated transmission grid. Once operational, it aims to be the largest renewable-powered ammonia production facility globally, producing 600 metric tonnes of green hydrogen daily for industrial and transportation decarbonization. Despite global challenges facing green hydrogen projects, the NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC) has made strides in securing demand commitments. A memorandum of understanding with SEFE to supply green hydrogen to European buyers signals potential for a 'hydrogen bridge' between Saudi Arabia and Europe. This progress contrasts with the limited offtake agreements in the industry, where only 12% of green hydrogen plants have firm customer purchase commitments. The project's alignment with Saudi Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative underscores its strategic importance for the country's energy transition and global decarbonization efforts.
