Welcome to Hydrogen Arabia

The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is set to host a groundbreaking event titled Hydrogen Arabia on December 8 and 9, 2025, at the Crowne Plaza Riyadh. This historic gathering will emphasize the nation’s commitment to clean energy and its position as a leader in sustainable practices.

Organized by the creators of the World Hydrogen Summit, the event will see the participation of influential leaders, policymakers, investors, and innovators from around the globe, all focusing on shaping the future of hydrogen and clean energy in the Middle East. The conference aligns with Saudi Arabia's vision to achieve substantial advancements in its renewable energy sector by 2030.

Vision 2030: Aiming High

Saudi Arabia has set an ambitious goal to generate 50% of its electricity from renewable sources by the year 2030, positioning itself as a global frontrunner in clean energy. The nation has allocated more than 1 trillion Saudi Riyals (approximately $270 billion) towards its energy sector, with a significant portion dedicated to renewable energies. This unprecedented investment aims to expand renewable energy capacities, modernize infrastructure, and boost hydrogen production along with export capabilities.

Hydrogen: The Cornerstone of Clean Energy Strategy

The Hydrogen Arabia event will highlight the essential role of hydrogen in Saudi Arabia’s clean energy strategy and showcase the groundbreaking projects currently under development across the Middle East. A highlight of this initiative is the NEOM project, which is set to host the world's largest green hydrogen production facility, further underscoring Saudi Arabia's leadership in the hydrogen economy.

The conference will also cultivate new synergies between the promising hydrogen sector and the country’s Carbon Circular Economy (CCE) framework. Launched during Saudi Arabia's G20 presidency in 2020, the CCE framework facilitates comprehensive emissions management to combat climate challenges and promotes innovative solutions that create cleaner and more stable energy systems.

Significant Investments Driving Innovation

Recognizing the potential of hydrogen to accelerate clean energy efforts, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) has committed $10 billion towards green hydrogen initiatives, leveraging the nation's plentiful solar and wind resources. This investment marks a significant milestone in Saudi Arabia's ongoing journey toward becoming a hub for hydrogen energy.

Key Elements of Saudi Arabia’s Hydrogen Market

1. National Hydrogen Strategy: Launched in 2020, this roadmap aims to produce 1.2 million tons of green hydrogen and capture 10% of the global hydrogen market by 2030.
2. Global Demand and Export Potential: Saudi Arabia is on track to become a major exporter of hydrogen, engaging in agreements with international partners in Europe and Asia.
3. Investment and Partnerships: The $5 billion green hydrogen project at NEOM, along with $10 billion in PIF-led ventures, highlights the kingdom’s commitment to hydrogen production.
4. Scaling Supply Opportunities: Industrial hubs like Jubail, Yanbu, and Jazan offer significant potential for hydrogen adoption across heavy industries, transportation, and energy storage.

With its rich renewable resources, strong government support, and commitment to decarbonization, Saudi Arabia presents a compelling opportunity for investments and technologies in hydrogen. Through high-level discussions, showcase of advanced technologies, and strategic partnerships, Hydrogen Arabia will enable regional and global stakeholders to leverage the investment opportunities and collaboration needed for Saudi Arabia's clean energy transition.
