Air Products Qudra announced it has signed an agreement with Saudi Ground Services (SGS) to demonstrate H₂ for mobility at Dammam Airport, Saudi Arabia. SGS provides a wide range of ground handling services throughout the entire network of airlines in Saudi Arabia, from passenger services and baggage handling to fleet solutions and cargo services.

Air Products Qudra will work to increase the accessibility of clean H₂ including the building of H₂ infrastructure to support Saudi Arabia’s energy and climate ambitions, including within the H₂ for mobility space.

“Saudi Ground Services and Air Products Qudra are converging on the first application in the ground handling aviation sector in the kingdom. This is built on the foundations laid down for us by the Saudi Green Initiative, one of the most important cornerstones of the Saudi Arabian Vision 2030, as sponsored by his Royal Highness the Minister of Energy,” said Raed Al-Idrissi, CEO of Saudi Ground Services. “This is only a step in a collection of initiatives aiming to further drive clean technologies to be the Face of Saudi Arabia, the face of intelligence, sustainability and hydrogen mobility.”

Our support is further reflected in our business with SGS, as we continue to lead the way with environmental, sustainable and efficient projects throughout Saudi Arabia and the broader Middle East region.”
