Saudi Arabia is positioning itself as a major exporter of green hydrogen as the world seeks cleaner fuels for heavy industry, shipping, and power generation. At the heart of this effort is the NEOM Green Hydrogen Co., a joint venture building what is expected to become one of the world’s largest green hydrogen production facilities in NEOM, along the Kingdom’s Red Sea coast.

The project will harness renewable energy from solar and wind farms to produce hydrogen via electrolysis, which will then be converted into green ammonia for export to global markets.

“NGHC’s green hydrogen output is fully committed under an exclusive 30-year offtake agreement with Air Products, which will take 100 percent of the production and export it to global markets in the form of green ammonia.” - Wesam Al-Ghamdi, CEO of NEOM Green Hydrogen Co

Ammonia can be shipped using established global practices, making it one of the most practical current solutions for hydrogen exports.

The NEOM facility will also include specialized infrastructure to handle ammonia exports. Saudi Arabia is considered an ideal location for large-scale hydrogen production due to its natural resources and strategic position.
