NEOM Green Hydrogen Company (NGHC), a joint venture between ACWA Power, Air Products and NEOM, says that construction of its new green ammonia plant in Saudi Arabia has reached 80% completion across the hydrogen plant, wind and solar farm and transmission grid, with milestone equipment being received and installed, including wind turbines, hydrogen storage vessels, electrolysers, cold box and pipe racks. The 4 GW solar and wind power generation sites are scheduled for completion by mid-2026, with first ammonia product availability expected in 2027. The plant will produce up to 600 t/d of low carbon ammonia for transportation and industrial sectors globally, as well as using ammonia as a hydrogen carrier. Air Products is the primary EPC contractor and system integrator, and the exclusive off-taker of the green hydrogen produced in the form of green ammonia at the NGHC facility.

Zambia implements sulphuric acid export permits

The Zambian government has introduced a new permit system to manage the export of sulphuric acid, which came into effect on 27 March, 2026, according to an announcement from the Ministry of Commerce, Trade and Industry. The move comes at a time of significant exceptionally high prices and sourcing challenges in the global sulphur market, adding another layer of tightness for regional consumers. The Ministry stated that the measure is designed to correct a "critical market imbalance" and ensure supply for the country's domestic industries. The system aims to safeguard local downstream sectors that rely on the acid, while still ensuring that the needs of the export market are met, it said.
