Germany?s thyssenkrupp Uhde Chlorine Engineers will supply a two-gigawatt electrolysis plant for the planned US$5bn green hydrogen and green ammonia project to be developed by the USA-based air products and the local Acwa Power at Neom in Saudi Arabia
Air Products, in partnership with Saudi Arabia?s Acwa Power, signed initial agreements for the US$5bn hydrogen-based ammonia plant at Neom, Saudi Arabia, in June 2020.
The project will be powered by more than four gigawatts of renewable energy, and will be able to produce 1.2 million tonnes per year of ammonia. The plant will produce 650 tonnes of hydrogen daily.
Air Products will be the offtaker for the produced green ammonia, and will invest a further US$2bn in distribution.
The project is scheduled to begin commercial operation in 2026.
