  • The project, led by Neom Green Hydrogen Company, involves key players like ACWA Power, Air Products, and Neom Future City, signaling a significant shift towards green energy.
  • The Hydrogen City project aims to help Saudi Arabia transition from oil dependency and provide renewable energy to cities within the Neom project, showcasing commitment to sustainability.
  • The plant's completion by the end of 2026 will contribute to global efforts in energy transition, with plans to produce 1.2 million tons of liquid ammonia per year and cater to the European Union's green hydrogen demands.
Saudi Arabia is embarking on an ambitious $8.4 billion project to build a Hydrogen City as part of the Neom megaproject in the desert. This city aims to be a futuristic hub for renewable energy, with plans to produce up to 600 tons of green hydrogen per day. The project, led by Neom Green Hydrogen Company, includes key players like ACWA Power, Air Products, and Neom Future City. The goal is to aid Saudi Arabia in shifting from oil dependence to green energy and provide sustainable solutions for energy needs. By partnering with European Union, the project plans to generate 10 million tons of green hydrogen and import another 10 million tons by 2030. The construction, which began in March 2023, is progressing well, with the aim to complete the plant by the end of 2026. Once operational, the plant will be able to produce 1.2 million tons of liquid ammonia annually, meeting the demands of customers like the European Union. The Hydrogen City project signifies a significant step towards a more sustainable, less fossil-dependent future, showcasing Saudi Arabia's commitment to renewable energy and global energy transition efforts.
