The second feature of a content series produced in partnership with FT Longitude, Investors for Change, explores the potential of renewably produced hydrogen.
Green hydrogen - produced through electrolysis, which splits water into hydrogen and oxygen, using electricity generated from renewable sources - is emerging as a crucial solution for decarbonizing hard-to-abate sectors.
NEOM’s Green Hydrogen Company is building the world’s largest green hydrogen plant in Saudi Arabia, aiming to set new benchmarks for industrial-scale integration and support the global transition to sustainable energy.
The article, featuring interviews with Oxagon CEO, Vishal Wanchoo, explores the role of investment, improved infrastructure and international collaboration in scaling green hydrogen operations. Wesam Alghamdi, CEO of NGHC, is also quoted, emphasizing that the project is not only about production but about “fostering new industries, creating jobs and developing skills within the local community, ensuring a lasting positive impact for the Kingdom and beyond”.
