Saudi Aramco dismissed media reports claiming a pause in its plans for blue hydrogen, affirming that such claims are “inaccurate”.

The company’s goal of producing up to 11 million tons of blue ammonia, a carrier of blue hydrogen, by 2030 remains unchanged, the giant oil producer said in an emailed statement to Argaam.

Saudi Aramco continues to work with potential customers and other stakeholders around the world. The company is making real progress across the blue hydrogen value chain.

This includes receiving the world’s first independent certification with Saudi Basic Industries Corp. (SABIC) for blue ammonia and blue hydrogen production, as well as delivering three shipments of blue ammonia to customers in Asia, the statement added.
