en.Wedoany.com Reported - As global demand for clean fuels increases, Saudi Arabia is accelerating the deployment of its green hydrogen export strategy, aiming to provide alternative energy solutions for sectors such as heavy industry, shipping, and power generation.

This plan is primarily being implemented by Neom Green Hydrogen Co. (NGHC). This joint venture, established with equal stakes by ACWA Power, Neom, and the U.S.-based Air Products and Chemicals, is constructing related production facilities in the Neom region along Saudi Arabia's Red Sea coast. The project is expected to be supported by solar and wind power installations to produce hydrogen through electrolysis, which will then be converted into green ammonia for export to overseas markets. According to the plan, the facility will produce 600 tons of carbon-free hydrogen daily, exporting 1.2 million tons of green ammonia annually. A dedicated ammonia handling and shipping terminal will also be built in the Neom region.

NGHC CEO Gamudi stated: "NGHC has signed a 30-year exclusive offtake agreement with Air Products, under which Air Products will receive 100% of NGHC's green hydrogen production and export it to the global market in the form of green ammonia." This arrangement means the project's output will primarily be absorbed through long-term contracts rather than entering short-term spot trading.

According to the plan, the project's supporting 4 GW solar and wind power plant is expected to be completed by mid-2026, followed by the commissioning of electrolyzers. The project is scheduled to become operational in 2027. With the advancement of the green hydrogen export project, Saudi Arabia's related positioning within the clean energy supply chain will be further enhanced.
