NEOM’s Green Hydrogen Design awarded to Longitude

Longitude Engineering, ABL Group’s engineering, advisory, and design arm, has been awarded a contract to provide engineering support to Air Products on the NEOM green hydrogen project in Saudi Arabia.

The NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC) aims to build the world’s largest green hydrogen production facility from local onshore wind and solar power, which will then be exported globally by Air Products, one of the company’s three shareholders, as green ammonia. The green ammonia will be converted back into green hydrogen to fuel the transport sector. The company is located in the NEOM region of Saudi Arabia.

“This project is at the cutting edge of the energy transition. It will harness the carbon-free energy generated from abundant local wind and solar resources to generate hydrogen via electrolysis, which will then be transformed into ammonia for global distribution.

Green hydrogen is recognised as key to global decarbonisation efforts. The NEOM Green Hydrogen Company is truly the first to move into making green hydrogen generation at big scale a reality, and we are delighted to play a small role in this pioneering undertaking.” Commented by David Bignold, Managing Director, Longitude Engineering

Longitude has been appointed by Air Products Ltd. – the primary EPC contractor – to
