NEOM Green Hydrogen Complex

The world's largest green-hydrogen/ammonia project moving from construction into commissioning right now — a preview of the scale and discipline mix (electrolysis, ammonia synthesis, huge renewables integration) the hydrogen economy will need repeated at smaller scale elsewhere, including in the Netherlands.
