A strategic partnership has been established between King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), NEOM’s Education, Research, and Innovation Foundation (ERIF), and ENOWA to support Saudi Arabia’s burgeoning hydrogen economy. The collaboration aims to advance hydrogen technology and contribute to the Kingdom’s vision of becoming a global leader in renewable energy and hydrogen production. NEOM’s ERIF has sponsored three pivotal projects under its Hydrogen and e-Fuels Applied Research Institute (HEFARI) in partnership with KAUST researchers. These projects focus on developing hydrogen as a renewable energy source and were discussed at a recent summit held at KAUST’s Research and Technology Park. The summit brought together senior representatives from KAUST, ERIF, HEFARI, ENOWA, and other major stakeholders to discuss progress, challenges, and opportunities in Saudi Arabia’s green hydrogen economy. Key topics included green hydrogen and ammonia production, sustainable fuel applications, electrolyzer technology advancements, and hydrogen transportation. The projects at KAUST are led by renowned researchers focusing on carbon-neutral marine fuels, cost reduction in large-scale electrolyzer technologies, and emissions reduction from engines using green ammonia. This partnership aims to solidify Saudi Arabia's position in the global hydrogen economy, with ambitions to produce 50% of electricity from renewables by 2030 and achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2060. Saudi Arabia's dedication to a circular carbon economy framework underscores its commitment to advancing green hydrogen production and sustainable energy transition.
