NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC) has reached a significant milestone in its green hydrogen project at Oxagon, Saudi Arabia. This joint venture includes Saudi utility giant ACWA Power, U.S.-based Air Products, and NEOM, the developer of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious smart city project. The construction has now completed 80% across all key project areas, including the hydrogen production plant, wind garden, solar farm, and transmission infrastructure.
Once fully operational by the end of 2026, NGHC plans to operate the world’s largest green hydrogen plant. This facility will produce up to 600 tonnes of carbon-free hydrogen daily, significantly contributing to reducing global carbon emissions. Additionally, this project supports the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 ambitions, driving economic diversification and establishing global leadership in clean energy.
Installation of Vital Equipment Underway
The NGHC stated that installation of vital equipment is currently underway. This includes wind turbines, hydrogen storage vessels, electrolysers, cold boxes, and pipe racks—critical components needed to bring the plant into operation.
The project is powered by a combination of solar and wind energy, with 4 GW of clean energy capacity targeted for completion by mid-2026. The first shipments of green ammonia—a transportable derivative of hydrogen—are projected to begin in 2027.
Supporting Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030
This pioneering project directly supports the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 ambitions to drive economic diversification and global leadership in clean energy. By producing up to 600 tonnes of carbon-free hydrogen daily, the facility will significantly contribute to reducing global carbon emissions.
The NEOM Green Hydrogen Plant stands as a testament to Saudi Arabia’s commitment to sustainable development and its role in the global transition to clean energy.
