Saudi Arabia is accelerating its transition from oil to a global renewable energy leader by developing massive green hydrogen projects, particularly the $8.5 billion NEOM project. Targeting the first exports in 2027, the Kingdom will export 1.2 million tonnes of green ammonia annually by 2026-2027, leveraging low-cost solar and wind for electrolysis

Saudi Arabia is accelerating its transition from oil to a global renewable energy leader by developing massive green hydrogen projects, particularly the $8.5 billion NEOM project. Targeting the first exports in 2027, the Kingdom will export 1.2 million tonnes of green ammonia annually by 2026-2027, leveraging low-cost solar and wind for electrolysis

Key Developments in Saudi Green Hydrogen:-
NEOM Green Hydrogen Project:-
 A joint venture (NEOM, ACWA Power, Air Products) that will produce 600 tonnes daily of carbon-free hydrogen (converted to 1.2M tonnes of green ammonia/year). Construction was over 90% complete in early 2026.
Export Strategy: -
The hydrogen is converted to ammonia to utilize existing global shipping infrastructure for international markets.
Target Markets: -
Key partnerships have been established with Germany to secure a green ammonia export corridor from the Yanbu hub, say Indian Chemical News. Japan and South Korea are also considered key, say Arab News.
Why It Matters: -
This project fits within Saudi Vision 2030 to diversify the economy and meet global demand for clean energy, notes gccbusinesswatch.com.
Second Project: -
A second green hydrogen project, led by ACWA Power, is currently being developed for operation by 2030.

Solar Generation in Night hrs

How to get get Solar generations in Night        While standard solar panels cannot generate electricity at night,     New technologies are being developed to address this limitation.      These advancements focus on harnessing the earth's heat or using infrared radiation emitted by the Earth to generate power, potentially creating 24-hour renewable energy sources.  Key Concepts and Technologies :- 1) Anti-Solar Panels (Thermo-radiative Cells):- How they work:-    These panels, also known as thermoradiative cells, work in reverse of traditional solar panels. Instead of absorbing sunlight, they emit infrared radiation into space, which is then converted into electricity.    Nighttime energy:-     They can generate electricity from the difference in temperature between the panel and the surrounding environment, essentially converting the heat escaping into space back into usable power.  Potential:-  ...

Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power

  Hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power         Statement "1000 pounds" per day of hydrogen at home — It's the end of solar and wind power in the world" is not accurate.     While hydrogen can be produced from renewable energy sources like solar and wind power, it's not a replacement for those sources themselves. Hydrogen production via electrolysis, using renewable electricity, is a promising avenue for decarbonization, but it doesn't negate the need for solar and wind power as direct energy sources.  Cause behind its is as under. Hydrogen as an Energy Carrier:-     Hydrogen is an energy carrier, meaning it stores energy produced elsewhere (like from solar or wind) and can be used to power fuel cells or for other applications.  Electrolysis:-     A key method of producing "green" hydrogen involves using electricity from renewable sources (like solar and wind) to split water into hydrogen and oxygen throu...

State-wise carbon emissions in India show a concentration in western and southern states, with byd as major emitters, particularly from the manufacturing and energy sectors. The highest total CO2 emissions have been linked to states like Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and West Bengal, though the specific ranking can vary depending on the data year and the specific pollutants included.
