- In this video, we will delve into the details of the world's largest carbon-free green hydrogen plant. I will discuss the project's specifics, its environmental and economic impacts, as well as potential challenges.
Oil has powered the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for decades. But now, Saudi Arabia's setting its sights on a new horizon. The kingdom is embarking on an ambitious Green Hydrogen Project. When completed it will be the world's largest carbon-free green hydrogen plant.

No doubt, NEOM hydrogen project is an interesting one and successfully completed would act as a catalyst for Hydrogen economy!
People are not aware of the potential that hydrogen has. Its remarkable change in the world happening now a days.
Where is the „sponsored by Saudi Arabia“ indication?
Thank you for considering are help .usa.
Congrats H2
✌️😇👍
Saudi Arabia look at the stocks of wind turbine companies, there are problems with wind turbines
And solar energy MHD technology will make the solar panels to 50% more power
So, the NEOM line city has been reduced from 170km to 2km as far as I know. To me all this seems to be more investor relations PowerPoint than reality...
Producing hydrogen typically involves water electrolysis, where water (H2O) is split into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) using electricity. The amount of freshwater required to produce 1 kg of hydrogen depends on various factors such as the efficiency of the electrolysis process and the purity of the water used. However, as a rough estimate, it's commonly stated that around 9 liters of freshwater are needed to produce 1 kg of hydrogen through electrolysis using current technologies.
Where do you have enough freshwater desalination already costs a fortune and Australia is among the water severe scarce country?
According to the UN World Water Development Report 2023, globally, 2 billion people (26% of the population) do not have safe drinking water and 3.6 billion (46%) lack access to safely managed sanitation.
Producing Hydrogen while 2 billion people (26% of the population) do not have safe drinking water and 3.6 billion (46%) lack access to safely managed sanitation, is another form of depopulation.
The problem is the Houthis from Yemen.
Hydrodollar is coming
Ocean water is the source of h2

The picture the advertisement gives of green hydrogen sounds beautiful - fresh washing drying on a washing line; children on a sunny day happily playing by a stream with a rainbow in the distance. However, not all is as green as it seems in the garden for the air is good but the soil barren.
There are many embedded carbon costs in the mining, refining, chemical processing, manufacture and installation of wind turbines and solar panels, which you claim are renewable. The downstream costs in relation to energy - carbon and environmental damage are not accounted for. The agenda would rather ignore these and they are left out of most studies promoting the new green deal, not to mention the apparatus averages out to a maximum of a 25 year life span. The process itself may boast being green - no carbon emissions - however, the downstream carbon footprint is colossal…
What reductions will the largest plant in the world make to the fossil fuel industry; based on medium density crude?
1. The plant, one of the largest in the world when complete will produce 600 tonnes per day.
2. Global oil production amounted to 93.9 million barrels per day in 2022.
3. Conversion; One barrel of oil weighs 137kg x 7.4 barrels per metric tonne.
4. Global oil production per day in metric tonnes: 12,689,189 tonnes per day.
Hydrogen is approximately 3x more calorific energy than petroleum:
- The heating value of gasoline is 47 megajoules per kilogram.
- The heating value of hydrogen is 143 megajoules per kilogram.
5. 600 tonnes hydrogen times 3x to balance calorific equivalent 18,000 tonnes per day
Now that the calorific energy is balanced per tonne.
6. 12,689,189 tonnes petroleum minus 1,800 tonnes of hydrogen.
7. 12,689,189 minus 1,800 = 12,687,389 tonnes petroleum per day.
8. 12,687,389 tonnes petroleum x 7.4 = 93,886,678 barrels per day.
9. 93,900,000 barrels per day, less hydrogen equivalent calorific value converted to oil minus barrels per day gives a saving of 13,322 barrels of oil per day.
The saving of emissions from a barrel of oil based on 600 barrels of hydrogen production per day gives a value of 0.0142% saving, and that is only if the oil isn’t burnt somewhere else, like China or India who are energy hungry to the last molecule. .
To exchange 50% of total oil production for green hydrogen we would require 352 green hydrogen plants, notwithstanding, gasoline costs a fraction of the production cost per kilogram.
Furthermore, we haven’t built in the downstream costs for this green energy; turbines require mining of precious minerals along with refining and processing, as well as other materials predominantly made of steel, fibreglass, resin etc.
Solar panels also have a hefty downstream cost: the journey of silicon starts with mining and refining quartzite - a rock containing quartz. The refining process involves mixing powdered quartzite with carbon and heating it in arc furnaces at 2000 degrees centigrade resulting in metallurgical-grade silicon. From here it is blended with other metals. Then we need the glass and silver, as well as other minor ingredients.
The mining and refining and shipping of the minerals will also require heavy diesel driven machinery to complete the processes. Notwithstanding, the factories required for the production, concrete and construction of facilities, the staff, and all the energy requirements in relationship have an embedded carbon cost.
As the weather is intermittent there is also the requirement for battery back-ups, unless diesel generators, gas or hydrogen are to be used as base load energy.
Green is not as green as most would like to imagine and far more destructive to the environment when you consider the square metres of land required not only for the apparatus on site but also, the amount of destruction caused to eco systems. There is also a second stage processes which follow the refining which also require chemical refining. Taking copper as an example on ore grades which will deplete in time - for every kilogram required we must crush one tonne of ore.
We as a civilisation have been going through the energy transition since we first burned a piece of wood, including wind, hydro, coal, oil, gas, nuclear and others. Whenever we have found new fuels and new technologies to harness and extract energy, we have never abandoned the old fuels. In fact, we have burned more of them; every one of them, including cow dung…
I’m all for new technologies and a cleaner environment however, it seems everybody has become fixated on looking up at the sky, when they should be looking beneath their feet.
Any feedback is appreciated.
We cannot even begin to imagine new use cases of hydrogen (like transportation) until we have "greened" all of the existing hydrogen production for already existing uses. Agriculture, chemical, medical and "green steel" already require huge amounts of hydrogen.
Today most of this hydrogen is produced in high emmisions ways.
We need to covert all this existing production of hydrogen over to "green" hydrogen along with greening the entire electricity grid.
THEN maybe we can start looking at new applications of hydrogen like transportation.
But even THEN the numbers do not look good for hydrogen, because the double conversion process of the hydrogen mid step is so incredibly inefficient. It is possible that in every use case it just uses a lot less electricity to power things directly than to make hydrogen, transport hydrogen, and then turn the hydrogen back into electricity/power.
So I am a super fan of "green" hydrogen, replacing "Grey, black, blue, brown" hydrogen.
But I do not see hydrogen having a future in transportation.
On the topic of materials used for "green" electricity generation and batteries and such...
Yes they do take a lot of materials, energy, process and transportation to make so they are far from "zero emissions". And the supply chain has some issues with human societal damage and worker oppression. That is totally true.
But whenever I see an anti-green petroleum fan obstructionist comment, they always conveniently forget all the materials, process, transportation and human suffering caused by the fuel solution supply chain in their math. All the extraction, transportation, processing, transportation, storage, transportation and supporting industry needed to get gasoline into our cars and diesel into our machinery is immense, high emissions and often quite socially damaging. Then you need to build the fuel power plants, and fuel vehicles which all in are nearly as much or sometimes more than the "green" solution just to make not even counting the fuel that goes into them.
Once all the math plays out, wind/solar/geo/tidal/electrified/etc energy solutions are lower or about the same emissions to make, AND they do not burn fuel for decades.
Also the more we adopt these solutions, the "greener" it gets to make these solutions. They improve their own math over time with greater adoption. It gets lower emissions each year to make a battery, because more electrified batteries are used in the supply chain instead of fuel tanks.
These new supply chains give us the ability to create better supply chains both for emissions and for human society.
So though they are not "emissions free", they are lower emmisions.
Better is better even if it is not perfect.

Some hydrogen escapes the earth soon...
With hydrogen we can revive the planet Mars
this has to be a joke lol
That's way rosier than it actually is! Neum is already a bankrupt project

South Australia’s building the largest hydrogen power plant , get your facts right
I think the greatest one registered in the world in 2023 is the one in Mauritania by CWP Global
World's* hargest. Use a a possessive noun in your title, not a singular. Even the tirst few seconds of your video gets it right.
Hydrogen is not the future ... electricity is !
Thank you for sharing this.
Electricity is not a primary energy source, it is merly a transportation system, where you going to get it from?
@@nickbagnall electricity generation through solar & wind (is rising every year) + battery packs
Otherwise from the grid with good interconnection between states/countries . Probably nuclear until enough solar/wind/battery pack capacity installed. Charging cars when electricity is abundant.
@@erivaton where do you get resources to build batteries for entire countries?
@@ColoniaMurder20 Lithium can be found all over the world. LPF-batteries are made with iron and without cobalt manganese, then there is no limit. And then we're not even talking about the sodium-ion batteries that will probably come.
