In today’s episode of The Hydrogen Podcast, we dive into Newsweek’s June 2025 article on the Neom Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC), the heart of Saudi Arabia’s bold $500 billion Neom megaproject.
🚧 The world’s largest green hydrogen plant—80% complete and located in Neom’s Oxagon hub—is aiming to be operational by late 2026. With $8.4 billion in investment and 4 GW of renewable energy, this facility will produce 600 tons of hydrogen daily, converted into 1.2 million tons of ammonia annually for global export.
🔎 Topics covered in this episode:
- Key details on NGHC’s economic model, technology stack, and off-take strategy
- How NGHC fits into Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030
- Market risks and the need for more buyers
- Job creation, environmental benefits, and the water-energy tradeoff
- A comparison to U.S. and China’s competitive projects like ExxonMobil’s Baytown facility and Sinopec’s $690M hydrogen fund
📊 Based on data from DOE, IEA, and BloombergNEF, we analyze NGHC’s future in the global hydrogen market and whether it can compete on cost and scale.
🌍 Whether you’re in energy, infrastructure, or policy, this episode offers essential insights into one of the biggest clean energy bets in the world.
