The largest global hydrogen production factory
The largest green hydrogen production plant in the world is located in the city of Oxagon in the Saudi NEOM region, with a total area of approximately 300 square kilometers.
- 2020 witnessed the first steps of NEOM to become a major player in the hydrogen market
- The NEOM site qualifies it to produce green hydrogen in large quantities
- Completion of the factory implementation in 2026 and allocating its export production
- It aims to produce 600 metric tons per day of green hydrogen
The implementation of the largest green hydrogen production factory in the world in the Saudi NEOM region - one of the giant projects in the country - comes within the framework of the Kingdom's efforts towards continuing its leadership role in the global energy market, which is witnessing a shift towards low -emissions technologies, in order to achieve the goals of carbon neutrality by 2050, especially as they are It has tremendous potential to play a major role in the low -carbon world.
