HOUSTON, TEXAS (Editors at Energy Analytics Institute, 24.Mar.2025, Words: 204) — Aramco and Air Products Qudra (APQ) announced that Aramco has completed the acquisition of a 50% equity interest in the Jubail-based Blue Hydrogen Industrial Gases Company (BHIG).
BHIG targets the production of hydrogen, including lower-carbon hydrogen from natural gas, also referred to as “blue hydrogen,” through the capture and storage of carbon dioxide. BHIG is expected to commence commercial operations to produce blue hydrogen in coordination with Aramco’s carbon capture and storage (CCS) activities in Jubail.
The agreement brings together experts in their respective fields with the aim of providing the Jubail Industrial City area with hydrogen, including lower-carbon hydrogen, at scale, Aramco announced on 24 Mar. 2025 in an official statement.
“Aramco’s investment in BHIG is expected to contribute to the development of a hydrogen network in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s Eastern Province,” Aramco executive vice president of strategy & corporate development Ashraf Al Ghazzawi said in the statement. “This network, along with our CCS hub in Jubail, can help us capitalize on emerging opportunities both domestically and globally to reduce carbon emissions, support growth, and diversify our energy portfolio.”
