Insights

ACWA Power, a Saudi-listed company renowned for being the world's largest private water desalination company, a pioneer in the energy transition, and a first mover in green hydrogen, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Snam to explore collaboration and joint investments to establish a supply chain of green hydrogen to Europe.

Snam, a leading European operator in natural gas transportation, storage, and regasification, aims at building a pan-European multi-molecule infrastructure, advancing energy security and the transition to Net Zero. ACWA Power serves as a developer, investor, and operator of green hydrogen and green ammonia production facilities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

This partnership will involve exploring potential collaboration and joint investments aimed at establishing an international supply chain for a dependable and cost-effective supply of green hydrogen from Saudi Arabia to Europe and evaluating the development of an ammonia import terminal in Italy to facilitate the delivery of green hydrogen through the South H2 Corridor, the 3,300km long corridor reaching central Europe through Italy, Austria and Germany.
