After taking note of the great benefits that hydrogen has to offer in various industries, more and more companies are trying to establish themselves as one of the largest suppliers of this promising element that is in demand all over the world. Now an energy project is underway in Saudi Arabia and there are plans to produce and export H2 around the world.
Hydrogen has attracted the attention of the whole world: everyone is looking for the fuel of the future
Hydrogen has recently become one of the most popular fuels for quite some time and this is directly attributed to the fact that can be used by combustion to power mobility and so on, since the byproduct of its combustion is only water vapor, something that is much less polluting than traditional fuels obtained from fossil sources.
Since then, several countries and companies have been looking for ways to extract this amazing underground fuel and best exploit it, while benefiting the environment. Opposite this Acwa Power, Neom and Air Products They got to work trying to establish themselves as one of the world’s suppliers of this futuristic fuel.
This fuel promises to be extremely beneficial in every sector in which it is projectedfrom fuel for land, sea or air mobility to its use for energy projects that contribute to the forgetting of energy projects derived from highly polluting fossil sources that increase the consequences of climate change.
All details about this impressive energy project
Well, it is very important to emphasize that this news was released some time ago and surprised the world with the plans that the three companies have to position Saudi Arabia as one of the countries exporting green hydrogen worldwide, which will benefit to hundreds of industries with the great energy advantage that can be achieved by effectively developing this project.
An important fact about this energy plan is that the above-mentioned companies have signed an agreement for it $5 billion to make construction possible of the green hydrogen plant, which would be made from renewable energy sources and ammonia.
It is planned that this same plant will be powered by clean energy from renewable sources, which would keep pollutant emissions low by maintaining the site in Neom, extremely close to the Jordanian and Egyptian borders, as well as to the Sea.
This is the energy plan that companies have for the hydrogen power plant
We are talking about a large fuel generation plant with proven efficiency and effectiveness; this will also include approximately 4 gigawatts that would be sourced directly from renewable energy sources such as solar panels or wind energy fields. Even the storage would have a production of 650 tons of green hydrogen per day.
It is important to note that the hydrogen they plan to produce will be carried out using electrolysis processes, along with the help of the renewable energy sources already mentioned above. Even at the time it comes into use, expected in 2025, green ammonia production is expected to be around 2025. 1.2 million tons per year and this is said to be thanks to the Valor Topsoe technology.
The production of 650 tons of green hydrogen per day and 1.2 million tons of green ammonia per year underlines the potential of this initiative to transform the global energy landscape, reduce CO2 emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change. With the hydrogen power plant powered by renewable energy, this project represents a crucial step forward towards a successful energy transition.
