In an exclusive interview with pv magazine, ACWA Power's CEO Marco Arcelli highlighted the potential for building a bridge between Saudi Arabia and Europe to facilitate green hydrogen production. Arcelli emphasized the benefits of utilizing the abundant renewable resources in Saudi Arabia, such as solar energy, wind conditions, and water availability, to produce green hydrogen at a lower cost and on a massive scale. He stressed the importance of transitioning from gas-based energy sources to green hydrogen to ensure stable energy prices unaffected by geopolitical shifts. Arcelli forecasted a future where Europe would rely on a mix of domestically produced and imported hydrogen, with projects like the Neom initiative in Saudi Arabia set to play a significant role. The Neom project, with a substantial electrolysis capacity, is expected to begin hydrogen production by the end of 2026, marking a milestone in large-scale green hydrogen production. ACWA Power's collaborations with European companies like Snam and SEFE aim to establish a green hydrogen supply chain from the Gulf region to Europe. These partnerships involve significant investments, with targets to supply substantial amounts of green hydrogen to European markets by 2030. Additionally, ACWA Power's global expansion strategy includes projects in various countries, with a focus on renewable energy and green hydrogen production. Overall, ACWA Power's initiatives underscore the potential for international cooperation in advancing green hydrogen technologies and achieving climate goals, while also ensuring energy security and stable industrial production across continents.
