World’s largest green hydrogen plant reaches landmark construction target

NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC) announced today that it reached 80% construction completion at the start of Q1 2025 across all project sites — the green hydrogen facility, wind garden, solar farm, and transmission grid.

Located at Oxagon in NEOM on the Red Sea, construction of the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is said to be advancing rapidly. Milestone equipment is now being received and installed, including wind turbines, hydrogen storage vessels, electrolysers, the cold box, and pipe racks. The plant is claimed to be firmly on schedule, with 4 GW of solar and wind power generation set for completion by mid-2026, followed by commissioning of the electrolysers and first ammonia product availability in 2027.

An equal joint venture between ACWA Power, Air Products, and NEOM, NGHC’s world-scale plant will integrate up to 4 GW of solar and wind energy to produce up to 600 tonnes per day of carbon-free hydrogen by Q4 2026. This will be produced in the form of green ammonia as a cost-effective solution for the global transportation and industrial sectors.

NEOM Green Hydrogen Company holds an exclusive 30-year off-take agreement with Air Products for all of the green ammonia produced at the facility, unlocking the economic potential of renewable energy across the entire value chain.

This pioneering project directly supports the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 ambitions to drive economic diversification and global leadership in clean energy, paving the way for Saudi Arabia to become a world-leading hydrogen producer while strengthening its role as a key player in the global energy sector.
