NEOM Green Hydrogen appoints David Edmondson as new CEO

RIYADH: The Board of the NEOM Green Hydrogen Co., also known as NGHC, has appointed David Edmondson as its new CEO, the company said in a statement. 

“The appointment of David Edmondson as NGHC’s CEO is a natural follow-up to our recent agreement to build the world’s largest green hydrogen plant, which will produce 1.2 million tonnes of hydrogen per year,” said Nadhmi Al-Nasr, CEO of NEOM and Chairman of NGHC. 

In his 34-year-old career in Air Products, a US industrial gas supplier, Edmondson has worked in a variety of leadership roles in engineering and global gases in the Middle East and across the world. 

His most recent roles at Air Products included VP of Business Transformation as well as VP and Executive Project Director for the Jazan integrated gasification project. 

NGHC is a joint venture between NEOM, ACWA Power and Air Products to build a world-scale, green-hydrogen-based ammonia production facility powered by renewable energy.

NEOM will use the green hydrogen it produces to fuel clean, autonomous electric vehicles, to ensure a sustainable environment.
