- The project includesย 4 GWย of renewable electricity, generated from dedicated on-site wind and solar plants.ย
- The green hydrogen will be transported in the form of green ammonia by the exclusive 30-year off taker Air Products and will be used in hard-to-abate sectors including heavy industry and transportation.
- When operational, NGHCโs green hydrogen plant will save the planet up to 5 million tonnes of CO2 annually.
NEOM has announced a significant recruitment drive for its construction and operations phases.

In support of these efforts, NGHC recently held its inaugural virtual career fair over two days, which saw over 9,000 registrations. This demonstrates significant interest and engagement from applicants in the Kingdom eager to join this groundbreaking project and be part of the energy transition from Saudi Arabia.
