Through a Hydrogen Innovation and Development Center (HIDC) at NEOM
NEOM, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: ENOWA, NEOM’s energy, water and hydrogen subsidiary, has established the region’s first Hydrogen and Innovation Development Centre (HIDC). Located in NEOM’s production and innovation city, the new facility aims to drive the laboratory’s responses to market and commercial progression across the spectrum of hydrogen, production, use and transportation of green fuels.
HIDC will be a floor for new technologies in the raw energy industry and a collaborative learning network for circular carbon economy (CCE) and hydrogen study institutions. Through those collaborations, HIDC will seek to produce and adopt carbon-free artificial fuels in partnership. with Saudi Aramco. La new facility will further the Kingdom’s purpose of installing a global hub for innovation and blank power.
Scheduled to open in 2023, HIDC will gather operational knowledge of the first 20 MW electrolyzer at the thyssenkrupp Nucera facility to be used at the world’s largest green hydrogen and ammonia plant operated through NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC). HIDC will also advance ENOWA plans with Air Products Qudra for H2 mobility to complex mobility and logistics solutions based on hydrogen fuel cells at NEOM.
Commenting on the creation of HIDC, Peter Terium, CEO of ENOWA, said: “NEOM is poised to become one of the global accelerators of the hydrogen economy. Our ambition is to stimulate innovation and promote the economic implementation of long-term blank power supplies. a successful activation of revolutionary technologies is important, new ideas and new energy responses are equally essential. Our recent memorandums of understanding with NGHC, Saudi Aramco and Air Products Qudra demonstrate our tangible progress on this front. We look to the future to attract other global pioneers to create a new long term that fosters the next generation of hydrogen technologies. “
Located in OXAGON’s studies and innovation district, HIDC will attract skills from around the world to live, paint and innovate in a dynamic and modern ecosystem. The facility’s unique location encourages innovation and original thinking that will create a long-term plan and act. as a catalyst for global startups focused on green hydrogen technologies and artificial fuels.
Vishal Wanchoo, CEO of OXAGON and Head of Manufacturing at NEOM, added: “The desire to tackle some of humanity’s most demanding and urgent situations has spurred the next wave of investment in key technologies. OXAGON’s research and innovation district will be the new home for innovators, leading brands and the brightest minds who want to test, drive and bring to market the next generation of answers and products. OXAGON is the ideal site for the region’s first innovation and hydrogen progression center to foster innovation across the spectrum of hydrogen, production, use and transportation of green fuels, accelerating those inventions from the laboratory to complex production and production services that can then be marketed and exported. »
HIDC’s portfolio of allocations will also include a filling station and distribution generation for cars, buses, trucks and other emission-free blank energy applications, leveraging the immediate commercialization of mobile hydrogen fuel generation. In collaboration with Aramco, Air Products and ACWA Power, HIDC will validate hydrogen innovations, demonstrating the possibility of scaling up across the Kingdom and around the world.
In addition, HIDC will work heavily with Aramco on the progression of artificial fuels. By leveraging HIDC’s green hydrogen capabilities, Aramco will seek to drive the progression of its flagship artificial fuels program and demonstrate the technical and advertising feasibility of generating artificial fuels. The collaboration will also allow HIDC to leverage Aramco’s expertise in engineering, energy logistics and fuel studies and progress and align with Aramco’s ongoing efforts to explore the potential of low-carbon hydrogen-based fuels for the global energy transition.
Aramco’s Chief Technology Officer, Ahmad Al-Khowaiter, said: “With a new vision for long-term service life, NEOM is the best position for Aramco to explore and verify the limits of our cutting-edge in-house technologies. Its vast wind and prospective solar power generation also provides an exclusive opportunity to supply renewable hydrogen to drive the expansion of low-carbon man-made fuels while offering a platform to verify their advertising viability.
Thanks to NEOM’s unprecedented solar, wind and water resources, ENOWA can produce giant amounts of green hydrogen that can be tracked across multiple industries across the Kingdom. In recent years, green hydrogen has gained increasing popularity as the next wave of the energy transition, with programs as a power source, electric fuel, chemical, and fertilizer in many industries. NEOM hopes to be the first economy to use green hydrogen as energy on a large scale and pave the way for the hydrogen economy globally.
