Abstract

This paper explores the potential for hydrogen energy to become a future trend in Saudi Arabia energy industry. With the emergence of hydrogen as a promising clean energy source, there has been growing interest and investment in this area globally. This study investigated whether the country is likely to pursue this trend, given its current energy mix and policies. A study was conducted to provide an overview of the global trends and best practices in hydrogen energy adoption and investment. The outcomes of the analysis show that the country current energy mix has the potential to produce green hydrogen energy. The evaluation of its readiness and potential obstacles for hydrogen energy adoption has been drowned, and there are several challenges that need to be addressed. The study outcomes also conclude with policy implications and recommendations for the country energy industry.
