NEOM Green Hydrogen Complex

NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC), an equal production joint venture of ACWA Power, Air Products and NEOM, is establishing the world’s largest green-hydrogen-based ammonia production facility run on renewable energy. This mega-plant will produce up to 600 tonnes per day of carbon-free hydrogen in the form of green ammonia as a cost-effective solution for transportation and industrial sectors globally.

This project is based on proven technologies. Novel aspects include the integration of these technologies, particularly at this scale, and utilizing ammonia to transport the hydrogen to global markets. The project will save the world about five million metric tonnes per year of carbon emissions (CO₂).

Air Products is the primary EPC contractor and system integrator, and the exclusive off-taker of the green hydrogen produced in the form of green ammonia at the NGHC facility. We are proud to be shaping the future of energy with first-mover projects like this one.

Achieved Financial Close for NEOM Green Hydrogen Project

NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC) announced that following the signing of financial documents with 23 local, regional, and international banks, and investment firms, it has now achieved financial close on the world’s largest green hydrogen production facility located in NEOM’s Oxagon region.

How It Works

Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis of water using only renewable energies – solar and wind. Economical green hydrogen production is highly dependent on the cost of electricity. The Kingdom is an ideal location for the NGHC megaproject driven by its abundant sun and wind. Air Products will be the exclusive off-taker of the green products produced at the facility, and NGHC’s jetty will be used for the direct transfer of green ammonia to tanker ships, close to global shipping lanes at the crossroads of world distribution.

Seifi Ghasemi, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Air Products

"We are honored and proud to partner with ACWA Power and NEOM and use proven technologies to make the world’s dream of 100% green energy a reality. Harnessing the unique profile of NEOM’s sun and wind to convert water to hydrogen, this project will yield a totally clean source of energy on a massive scale and will save the world about five million tonnes of CO2 emissions annually."

Dr. Samir J. Serhan, Chief Operating Officer, Air Products

"NEOM is a perfect example of bold action aligned with bold vision, and where Air Products is building a world-scale green hydrogen complex powered by renewables, geared to generate a cleaner future in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and beyond. This vision for the city and actions to create a future built on sustainability and community align with Air Products' higher purpose of bringing people together to innovate solutions to the world's greatest energy and environmental challenges."

Wolfgang Brand, Vice President NEOM Green Hydrogen, Air Products

"To supply carbon-free hydrogen for transportation globally and sustainably is an exciting endeavor that genuinely motivates the EPC team and our partners in the supply chain for this megaproject. This lighthouse project demonstrates Air Products' core capabilities to support the world's largest green-hydrogen-based ammonia project with safety, reliability, and operational excellence."
