Saudi Arabia’s NEOM Green Hydrogen Project has reached 80% completion in its construction phase, according to Air Products, a US-based industrial gases company. This milestone covers all major components, including the green hydrogen facility, wind and solar power plants, and the transmission grid. Key equipment, such as wind turbines, electrolyzers, and hydrogen storage vessels, has already been delivered and installed.
The project is set to finish its 4 GW renewable energy sites by mid-2026, with the first green ammonia product expected in 2027, as reported by Air Products. NEOM Green Hydrogen Company, a joint venture between ACWA Power, Air Products, and NEOM, is building what is described as the world’s largest green hydrogen-based ammonia production facility powered entirely by renewable energy.
Once operational, the plant aims to produce up to 600 tonnes of carbon-free hydrogen daily in the form of green ammonia, providing a sustainable solution for global transport and industry. The facility, located in Oxagon within the NEOM region, spans over 300 square kilometers and is aligned with Saudi Vision 2030 and the Saudi Green Initiative.
Utilizing proven technology on an unprecedented scale, the project will use ammonia to transport hydrogen to international markets. It is expected to reduce global carbon emissions by about five million metric tonnes annually.
