Alfa Laval to Supply Heat Exchangers for Green Hydrogen Plant to be Built in Neom City

Swedish company Alfa Laval has signed an agreement to deliver compact heat exchangers to the world's largest green hydrogen plant, which is planned to be constructed in the Middle East. 

The renewable energy-powered facility would be part of the one-of-its-kind Neom city to be built from scratch in the northwestern desert, with an aim to set up a new model for sustainable living.

Alfa Laval is a leading supplier of energy-efficient plate heat exchangers to many of the main electrolyzer manufacturers. 

Neom's location and infrastructure would allow the generation of 4 GW of renewable power from solar and wind where the green hydrogen production facility would use about half of it. It would be the largest green hydrogen plant and the first installation of gigawatt size, producing 650 tons of hydrogen per day. This in turn would be used to produce 1.2 million tons of green ammonia annually.

Commenting on the project win, Thomas Møller, President of the Energy Division at Alfa Laval, said, "our business within hydrogen has developed well over the past years and we are today supplying efficient heat exchangers to the various steps of the process; for production, distribution and use." 

"With our products and expertise, we will continue to be part of accelerating and scaling this area, which is so important in the race to net zero emission," Møller added.
