ACWA Power Awards FEED Contract For Yanbu Green Hydrogen Project

Dubai (PlantAndEquipment.com) - ACWA Power has awarded a front-end engineering design (FEED) contract to a consortium of Spain’s Técnicas Reunidas and China’s Sinopec Guangzhou Engineering for its Yanbu Green Hydrogen Project in Saudi Arabia.

The contract, which is convertible into an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) agreement, covers the design of a facility that will produce 400,000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually. This hydrogen will be converted into 2.5 million tonnes of green ammonia through multiple synthesis loops. The FEED phase will span 10 months, after which the consortium will submit an EPC proposal.

Set in Yanbu Industrial City, the project is expected to be operational by 2030. It will use 5 GW each of solar and wind energy, supported by a 400 km transmission line and up to 4.4 GW of electrolysers, aiming to help decarbonise hard-to-abate sectors and support clean energy exports.
