The cooperation is expected to contribute to the KSA’s “Vision 2030” and help the parties position themselves as leading suppliers of zero-emission hydrogen-based fuel cells in the region, with an intended goal of converting various power sources towards zero emissions.

TECO 2030, which specialises in the field of marine and heavy-duty fuel cell applications, will bring all technical knowledge to the joint venture.

“This marks the beginning of fruitful cooperation with Al Misehal Group with a goal of supplying the region with leading marine and heavy-duty fuel cells. We could not be more satisfied with our strategic partner, and we are looking forward to collaborating towards Saudi’s Vision 2030”, said Tore Enger, Group CEO, TECO 2030.

For Adnan Al-Misehal, Al Misehal Group chairman, the joint venture is a major milestone in achieving net-zero carbon in 2060.
