In August 2020, Saudi Aramco announced plans to build a $4 billion hydrogen plant in Saudi Arabia. The facility, which is expected to be operational by 2025, will produce hydrogen through steam methane reforming and will have a capacity of 25,000 tons per year. Furthermore, in the same year in the month of July, Saudi Aramco formed a joint venture with Air Products to develop a hydrogen supply chain in Saudi Arabia. The venture aims to create a network of hydrogen refueling stations and support the growth of hydrogen-powered transportation in the country. These are in line with the company’s Hydrogen strategy where, in February 2020, Saudi Aramco launched its “Hydrogen Strategy” outlining its vision for the role of hydrogen in the kingdom’s energy mix. The strategy emphasizes the importance of developing a domestic hydrogen industry and leveraging the country’s abundant natural gas reserves to produce low-carbon hydrogen.

“The Jazan Economic City: Mega Plans of Saudi Aramco for Hydrogen Production”
Saudi Aramco is developing the Jazan Economic City project, which includes a USD 2.5 billion hydrogen production complex. The complex will use gasification technology to produce syngas, which will then be converted into hydrogen via steam methane reforming. The project is expected to be completed by 2025. Furthermore, Saudi Aramco is participating in the development of the Hydrogen Valley project, a USD 5 billion initiative to establish a hydrogen-based economy in Saudi Arabia. The project aims to produce 5 million metric tons of hydrogen per year by 2030, which will be used in various industries, including energy, transportation, and manufacturing.
