The Tecnicas Reunidas and Sinopec Guangzhou Engineering joint venture has been awarded a convertible FEED contract for the Yanbu Green Hydrogen Project The facility will produce 2.5 million tonnes of green ammonia annually, equivalent to 400,000 tonnes of green hydrogen Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia: ACWA Power, the world's largest private water desalination company, a leader in energy transition and first mover into green hydrogen, today announced that Spanish engineering firm Tecnicas Reunidas and Sinopec Guangzhou Engineering, one of China's leading energy and chemical engineering companies have been awarded a convertible front-end engineering design (FEED) contract for the Yanbu Green Hydrogen Project in Saudi Arabia. Under the terms of the agreement, the consortium will provide FEED for a facility with a production capacity of 400,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually, and its conversion into green ammonia through several ammonia synthesis loops. The FEED contract will span 10 months, after which the joint venture will present an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) proposal for the execution of this multibillion facility, which shall be ready for commercial operations by 2030. Tecnicas Reunidas has been involved in the project since pre-FEED stages and Sinopec Guangzhou Engineering gives continuity with this award to the MoU signed with ACWA Power in 2024. With commissioning targeted for 2030, the Yanbu Green Hydrogen project will contribute to the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors through its base in Yanbu Industrial City. It aims to utilise 5 GW each of wind and solar power, coupled with a 400 km transmission line and up to 4.4 GW of electrolysers to annually produce 400,000 tonnes of green hydrogen, which will be converted to 2.5 million tonnes of green ammonia to facilitate its export to international markets. Commenting on the award, Marco Arcelli, Chief Executive Officer at ACWA Power, said: 'The rapid pace of development on the Yanbu Green Hydrogen Project is a clear demonstration of our commitment to supporting the Kingdom's long-term energy security while also taking a leadership role in the global transition to sustainable energy.
