NEOM — The World’s Largest Green Hydrogen Facility Nears Completion

BETH | OXAGON – NEOM

80% completion has been achieved on NEOM’s green hydrogen project, a joint venture between ACWA Power, Air Products, and NEOM. The plant targets 600 tons/day of green hydrogen, with green ammonia shipments slated to begin in 2027.

Announcement

NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC) announced that 80% of construction is complete at its flagship green hydrogen complex in OXAGON, NEOM’s industrial city in northwest Saudi Arabia. The progress spans the entire value chain: the hydrogen production plant, wind power station, solar farm, and transport infrastructure.

Partners & Structure

NGHC is a strategic joint venture between:

ACWA Power (utilities & power)

Air Products (industrial gases)

NEOM (master developer)

Goal: to build the world’s largest green hydrogen plant at full commercial operation.

What’s Been Delivered So Far?

Key equipment installation is underway: wind turbines, hydrogen storage vessels, electrolyzers, cooling skids, and pipe racks.

The renewable power backbone is being finalized toward a ~4 GW (solar + wind) clean-energy capacity.

Timeline

Mid-2026: Completion of ~4 GW clean power system and start of commissioning & testing.

Late 2026 → 2027: Ramp-up toward nameplate capacity.

2027: First shipments of green ammonia (a transportable derivative of hydrogen).

Design capacity target: 600 tons/day of carbon-free green hydrogen.

Why It Matters

Saudi Vision 2030: Economic diversification and leadership in the clean-energy economy.

Green supply chains: Converting hydrogen to green ammonia eases maritime transport and global trade.

Decarbonization: A clean fuel for industry, shipping, and flexible power generation—regionally and globally.
