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.

“We are excited to join forces with Snam to drive significant advancements in the green hydrogen sector. With power sector emissions already down 40 % compared to 20 years ago, we now need to focus our collective efforts on new, low carbon molecules to decarbonize our sectors. Bringing our expertise together will help accelerate this process,” shares Marco Arcelli, Chief Executive Officer of Acwa Power.

From his side, Stefano Venier, the Chief Executive Officer of Snam, stated: “The EU’s ambitious decarbonization targets need decisive action across all manufacturing sectors, utilizing all available technologies in a practical, efficient and accelerated manner. Hydrogen plays a key-role here, and we are glad to pursue development opportunities in this field also through agreements like the one we signed with Acwa Power: the development of the ammonia import terminal is synergic with that of the South H2 Corridor.”
