Saudi Arabia's NEOM Green Hydrogen Project Nears Completion, Aims for 2027 Ammonia Exports
  • Saudi Arabia's ambitious NEOM Green Hydrogen Project is now 80% complete and is set to commence green ammonia exports by 2027.

  • This groundbreaking project features a large-scale green hydrogen production facility that will be powered by 4 GW of solar and wind energy, making it the world's largest renewable-powered ammonia production site.

  • Once operational, the facility is expected to produce up to 600 metric tonnes of green hydrogen daily, which could help offset 5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.

  • Despite facing challenges in the global hydrogen market, NEOM has already secured early commitments, including a memorandum of understanding with Germany’s SEFE for a potential supply of 200,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually by 2030.

  • Saudi Arabia's hydrogen strategy is further supported by ongoing investments in oil and gas, aiming to strike a balance between renewable energy expansion and fossil fuel production.

  • In line with its sustainability goals, Saudi Aramco plans to enhance its oil production sustainability and reduce emissions by 15% by 2035 through innovative technologies and carbon capture initiatives.

  • The NEOM project is a collaborative effort between ACWA Power, Air Products, and NEOM, aligning with Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative.

  • Beyond energy, Saudi Arabia is also focusing on expanding its mining sector, with plans to increase its GDP contribution from $17 billion to $75 billion by 2035 through strategic partnerships and investments in critical minerals.
