Saudi Arabia wants to be top supplier of hydrogen – energy minister

Saudi Arabia’s Energy Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Salman al-Saud has said that the country wants to be the biggest supplier of hydrogen. He added that the country intends to produce and export somewhere around 4 million tonnes of hydrogen by 2030. There are growing international calls for reductions in fossil-fuel investment and for the focus to shift towards renewable energy sources. Earlier this year, the chief executive of Aramco, said that the company is looking for off-take agreements for hydrogen in its key markets to expand its output and sees strong potential for growth.
