Saudi Arabia's ACWA Power and Germany's EnBW have joined forces to develop the first phase of the Yanbu green hydrogen hub in western Saudi Arabia. The project, set to be operational by 2030, will focus on producing green hydrogen and ammonia for international markets. Leveraging the renewable energy potential of Saudi Arabia, the hub aims to meet global industrial demand with clean energy solutions. The partnership also highlights the Kingdom's ambitious goal of generating half of its energy needs from renewables and alternative sources by 2030. Additionally, Saudi Arabia aims to become a significant exporter of hydrogen and ammonia, with targets set at 2.9 million tonnes per year by 2030 and 4 million tonnes by 2035. The project showcases growing international collaboration, with partnerships established with companies from Italy, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. This initiative aligns with Saudi Vision 2030 and signifies a major step towards sustainable energy production and distribution in the region.
