NEOM's Landmark Project: Revolutionizing Global Clean Energy with World's Largest Green Hydrogen Plant
Key Ideas
  • NGHC's green hydrogen plant in NEOM reaches 80% completion, set to be the world's largest, with operations starting in 2027.
  • The project is a joint venture between ACWA Power, Air Products, and NEOM, backed by a 30-year off-take agreement with Air Products.
  • Financed with $8.4 billion, including a $6.1 billion loan, the initiative supports Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 for economic diversification.
  • The plant's 4 GW solar and wind power generation aims to produce 600 tonnes of carbon-free hydrogen per day, fostering global decarbonization efforts.
The NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC) has made significant progress in constructing the world's largest green hydrogen plant located in NEOM, Saudi Arabia. As of early Q1 2025, the project is 80% complete across all sites, with plans to commence operations by 2027. The joint venture involving ACWA Power, Air Products, and NEOM is rapidly advancing, with key infrastructure components like wind turbines, hydrogen storage vessels, electrolyzers, and a transmission grid being installed. The facility, powered by 4 GW of solar and wind energy, is expected to operate fully by mid-2026 and produce 600 tonnes of carbon-free hydrogen daily, mainly in the form of green ammonia. This substantial output is seen as an eco-friendly solution for global industries and transportation, contributing to large-scale decarbonization efforts. Financially, the project secured $8.4 billion in funding, including a $6.1 billion loan from various banks and institutions. This initiative aligns with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 by promoting economic diversification and positioning the country as a key player in clean energy. By leading in hydrogen production, NGHC is not only boosting Saudi Arabia's influence in the energy sector but also fostering a sustainable future globally.
