Under the terms of the contract, L&T will execute power grid and power generation work for the plant on an EPC basis.
The report stated that NGHC’s primary EPC contractor and system integrator, Air Products (a joint venture partner), signed the agreement with L&T, which was named one of the top contractors in the Top 25 EPC contractors list. Air Products will be the project's sole offtaker.
Located in NEOM, Saudi Arabia’s $500 billion futuristic city being developed in Tabuk, NGHC’s mega-plant will integrate up to 4 GW of solar and wind energy to produce up to 600 tonnes per day of carbon-free hydrogen in the form of green ammonia as a cost-effective solution for transportation globally, according to the report.
The report concludes that green ammonia output is expected to reach 1.2 million metric tons, and the plant at NEOM is scheduled for commissioning by 2026.
