Industrial hydrogen is used in petroleum refining (hydrocracking, hydrodesulphurisation), ammonia and methanol synthesis, metallurgical heat treatment, electronics manufacturing, float glass production, and as a fuel in emerging clean energy applications. Supply formats include compressed gas in cylinders and tube trailers (200-500 bar), liquid hydrogen for specialized applications, and on-site generation via steam methane reforming (SMR), electrolysis, or methanol cracking. Purity requirements range from 99.9% for fuel applications to 99.9999% for semiconductor manufacturing.

The UAE and Saudi Arabia consume large volumes of hydrogen in their extensive refining operations and are simultaneously investing heavily in hydrogen as a clean energy vector. NEOM's green hydrogen project, the world's largest, will produce green hydrogen from solar and wind power for export as ammonia. ADNOC is developing blue hydrogen capacity with carbon capture. These mega-projects are positioning the GCC as a global hydrogen production and export hub. Meanwhile, industrial hydrogen demand continues growing with refinery expansions and new petrochemical projects.

When procuring hydrogen, specify purity grade, pressure, flow rate, and delivery format. For refinery and petrochemical applications, on-site SMR or supply-over-the-fence from a dedicated hydrogen plant is typical for large volumes. For smaller industrial users, tube trailer delivery or on-site electrolysis may be appropriate. Evaluate suppliers on their safety record, delivery logistics for high-pressure gas, and ability to provide continuous supply guarantees. Hydrogen's wide flammability range and low ignition energy demand rigorous safety management throughout the supply chain.

Frequently Asked Questions — Hydrogen

What is the difference between grey, blue, and green hydrogen in the GCC context?

Grey hydrogen is produced from natural gas via steam methane reforming without carbon capture, which is the current predominant method in the GCC. Blue hydrogen uses the same process but captures and stores the CO2 emissions, as ADNOC is developing in Abu Dhabi. Green hydrogen is produced by electrolysis powered by renewable energy, as planned at NEOM. For industrial procurement, the hydrogen product is chemically identical regardless of colour; the distinction relates to the carbon footprint and is increasingly important for scope 3 emissions reporting.

How is hydrogen safely stored and handled at industrial facilities in the GCC?

Hydrogen is stored in high-pressure cylinders (200-350 bar), tube trailers, or cryogenic liquid tanks with strict safety zones, ventilation, and leak detection. Facilities must comply with NFPA 2 (Hydrogen Technologies Code) or equivalent local regulations. Key safety measures include hydrogen-specific flame detectors (hydrogen flames are invisible), explosion-proof electrical equipment, adequate ventilation to prevent accumulation, and emergency shutdown systems. All personnel handling hydrogen must receive specialised training.

Can we generate hydrogen on-site at our facility in Saudi Arabia?

Yes, on-site hydrogen generation is well-established using compact SMR units, electrolysers, or methanol cracker systems. Electrolysers are increasingly popular for facilities with moderate hydrogen needs (10-500 Nm3/hr) and access to affordable electricity. SMR remains more economical for larger volumes where natural gas is available at GCC prices. On-site generation eliminates transport logistics and provides production flexibility. Several technology providers and gas companies offer turnkey on-site hydrogen solutions in the GCC.
