NEOM Green Hydrogen Co., part of Saudi Arabia’s futuristic city NEOM, is building a foundation for a transformative clean energy sector, aiming for global leadership rather than merely establishing the world’s largest production plant, said its CEO. 

In an interview with Arab News on the sidelines of the Saudi Green Initiative Forum, Wesam Al-Ghamdi emphasized the project’s broader objectives, highlighting its alignment with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and the country’s decarbonization and economic transformation goals. 

"When we are in production by December 2026, the 1.2 million tonnes of ammonia we’re going to be producing is equivalent to decarbonizing 22,000 heavy trucks." - Wesam Al-Ghamdi , CEO NEOM Green Hydrogen Co

The CEO noted that the project also serves as a model for large-scale hydrogen production, positioning Saudi Arabia as a leader in the global hydrogen economy. 

The plant will be powered entirely by solar and wind energy, with a 2.2-gigawatt electrolyzer designed for continuous hydrogen production. Construction is progressing rapidly, with over 60 percent of key infrastructure completed, including the hydrogen processing plant, solar facility, and wind farm.
