Hanoi (VNA) – From now to early 2025, Vietnam Machinery Installation Corp (LILAMA) willexport to Saudi Arabia four electrolyser modules on average each month, which are used toproduce green hydrogen, its General Director Le Van Tuan has announced.

The corporation will continue to sign a contract onsupplying such modules, each equal to 100 containers, in early next year, whichaffirmed its position in global green energy supply chains, Tuan said.

In 2023, LILAMA completed a package of manufacturing andinstalling mechanical equipment for the A/U fertiliser factory project locatedin Brunei’s Sungai Liang Industrial Park - SPARK with German contractorThyssenkrupp Industrial Solution AG (tkIS). 

The A/U fertiliser project has a main factory area ofabout 23ha and a 3.3km wharf with a total investment of 1.3billion USD. It was designed to produce 2,200 tonnes of NH3 and 3,900 tonnes ofurea daily.

That is also LILAMA's first project constructed abroadwith a complete scope of work including supply of materials, arrangement,supply of human resources, and construction machinery. LILAMA is also the firstVietnamese contractor to carry out a project with such scope of work abroad.

Thanks to the success of the project, ThyssenkruppIndustrial Solution AG (tkIS) trusted and continued to offer LILAMA a newcontract for manufacturing green equipment. 

Early this month, at the LILAMA Green Hydrogen ModuleComplex and Manufacturing Factory in Thuy Nguyen district of Hai Phong city, thecorporation handed over the first shipment to the Neom green hydrogen projectin Saudi Arabia. 

LILAMA completed the manufacturing, assembly, acceptance,packaging, and export of the first four electrolysis modules out of a total of110 modules under the signed contract. 

The Neom green hydrogen project in Saudi Arabia is thelargest one of its kind in the world with a total investment of more than 8billion USD, using 100% renewable energy from wind and solar power projects toprovide up to 600 tonnes of green hydrogen per day to replace fossil fuels andreduce global CO2 emissions.

It is expected that LILAMA and Thyssenkrupp Nucera willcomplete the supply of electrolysis modules for the Neom Green Hydrogen projectin the third quarter of 2025. 

At the same time, they will continue to jointly deploythe next green hydrogen projects for European, North American, and MiddleEastern markets./.
