Welcome to Hydrogen Arabia: The Future of Clean Energy

Saudi Arabia is embracing its role as a global leader in sustainable energy with the upcoming event "Hydrogen Arabia." Scheduled for December 8-9, 2025, at the Crowne Plaza in Riyadh, this milestone event is anticipated to gather prominent leaders, investors, policymakers, and innovators from around the world.

The Ambitious Energy Vision

The event exemplifies Saudi Arabia's commitment to its Vision 2030 initiative, which aims to produce 50% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030. The Kingdom is poised to make significant investments, allocating over 1 trillion Saudi Riyals (approximately $270 billion) for its electricity sector, with $235 billion earmarked specifically for renewable energy projects. As part of these efforts, the nation is exponentially increasing its renewable energy capacity, modernizing infrastructure, and enhancing hydrogen production and export capabilities.

The Central Role of Hydrogen

Hydrogen is set to be a cornerstone of Saudi Arabia's clean energy strategy. Hydrogen Arabia will highlight the remarkable progress achieved in developing hydrogen-related projects and solutions throughout the Middle East. Among these is the ambitious NEOM project, home to the world's largest green hydrogen storage facility, illustrating Saudi Arabia's leadership in the burgeoning hydrogen economy.

Additionally, this event aims to foster synergies between the growing hydrogen sector and the Kingdom's Circular Carbon Economy (CCE) framework. Launched during Saudi Arabia's G20 presidency in 2020, the CCE framework not only seeks to mitigate climate challenges through comprehensive emission management but also promotes innovation for cleaner, more stable energy systems.

Recognizing hydrogen's potential to accelerate these initiatives, the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) is set to invest $10 billion in green hydrogen projects, tapping into the Kingdom's abundant solar and wind resources to spur ongoing innovation and market growth. This significant investment marks a critical step in the country's remarkable journey towards a hydrogen-based economy.

Key Market Drivers for Hydrogen in Saudi Arabia

• - National Hydrogen Strategy: Launched in 2020, this roadmap aims to produce 1.2 million tons of green hydrogen and secure a 10% share of the global hydrogen market by 2030.
• - Global Demand and Export Potential: Saudi Arabia is on track to become a major hydrogen exporter, having established agreements with international partners in Europe and Asia.
• - Strong Investments and Partnerships: Initiatives like the $5 billion green hydrogen project at NEOM and the $10 billion directed by the PIF underscore the Kingdom's continued commitment to hydrogen production.
• - Expanding Utilization Opportunities: Industrial hubs like Jubail, Yanbu, and Jazan present significant opportunities for integrating hydrogen into heavy industries, transportation, and energy storage sectors.

With abundant renewable resources, robust governmental support, and a focus on decarbonization, Saudi Arabia offers an attractive landscape for hydrogen-related technologies and investments. The Hydrogen Arabia conference will provide a platform for high-level discussions, presentations of cutting-edge technology, and strategic partnerships, enabling regional and global stakeholders to capitalize on investment and collaboration opportunities within Saudi Arabia's clean energy transition.

In summary, Hydrogen Arabia is not just an event; it is a pivotal moment for advancing clean energy innovations and establishing international collaborative efforts in the hydrogen sector. The commitment of Saudi Arabia to this energy revolution is underscored by substantial investments, visionary strategies, and an unwavering focus on a sustainable future. Join us in Riyadh to witness and participate in this exciting transformation of the energy landscape.
