Sinopec Guangzhou Engineering and TR win FEED contract for Saudi green hydrogen project

Thread Content

A consortium formed by Sinopec Guangzhou Engineering Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sinopec Refining & Chemical Engineering Group, and the Spanish company Técnicas Reunidas, officially signed a FEED contract for the design of the front-end stages of a large-scale green hydrogen project in Saudi Arabia with ACWA Power on August 3, 2025. Upon completion, this project will become the world’s largest integrated green hydrogen and green ammonia project. As stipulated in the contract, Sinopec Guangzhou Engineering and Técnicas Reunidas will form a consortium to provide front-end engineering design services for this project over the next 10 months. Upon completion of the FEED phase, the consortium will submit a bid for the EPC general contracting of the project. It is reported that the value of the EPC turnkey contract for this project is expected to reach several billion dollars. The project is located in the Yanbu Industrial Zone in Saudi Arabia, and adopts a green production process that combines wind and solar power generation with hydrogen production through water electrolysis. The main components of the facility include a water electrolysis plant with a capacity to produce around 400,000 tons of green hydrogen per year, an ammonia synthesis plant with a daily production capacity of 8,000 tons, as well as supporting infrastructure such as desalination plants and specialized docks. Upon completion, the project will become a benchmark facility in the global green hydrogen industry, producing 400,000 tons of green hydrogen per year, which will be converted into 2.5 million tons of green ammonia through an ammonia synthesis process for export and to support global decarbonization goals. The FEED contract has a duration of 10 months, during which the consortium will be responsible for designing an electrolysis facility capable of producing 400,000 tons of green hydrogen per year, an ammonia synthesis plant with a capacity of 8,000 tons per day, as well as the associated utility and auxiliary facilities. Once the design is completed, the consortium will submit an EPC turnkey project proposal to lay the foundation for the subsequent construction of the project. It will be the largest single green hydrogen project in the world, with a production capacity twice that of the 2.2 GW Neom plant currently under construction in Saudi Arabia. ACWA holds a one-third interest in the project.
