Saudi Arabia to start building $5bn green hydrogen plant
20 March 2022Saudi Arabia is exepcted to begin building a green hydrogen plant costing $5 billion this month, according to a Bloomberg report.
The project in NEOM, a new city being built in in northwestern Saudi Arabia, is on track to sell carbon-free hydrogen from 2026, said the report quoting Peter Terium, the head of energy and water for the new region.
Engineers have finished flattening the site and US-based Air Products & Chemicals will soon begin building the facility, he said.
