We like to keep up with news and events in NEOM, Saudi Arabia and the surrounding area. Here are some of the news sites we read regularly.
The Voluntary Carbon Market Company (VCM) and Enowa, NEOM’s energy and water arm, have struck a landmark deal to deliver at least 30 million tonnes of high-integrity carbon credits by 2030. This long-term agreement shows Enowa’s promise to offset its unavoidable emissions. It also supports global climate action. This is especially true for projects in the Global South, which gain stable, long-term funding. The first delivery occurred in December 2024.
While the gaming industry feels incredibly fresh and cutting-edge, it is easy to forget its origins stretch back further than the 1972 launch of the Magnavox Odyssey, a product often cited as the first home-gaming console. It’s been an incredible half-century of video game development since, and yet there is no better time to be involved in the field.
Saudi Arabia has long been known for its key role in the oil industry, pumping out on average some 11 million barrels per day. The industry has attracted workers from overseas, including many from the United Kingdom.
THE LINE. A name that echoes in rooms and makes headlines across the world. Set to become the future of urban living, plans for THE LINE were first announced back in 2022. This is what the progress of THE LINE by NEOM looks like at this time. In images shared by Giles Pendleton, chief operating officer, THE LINE at NEOM, you can see just how far along construction is right now.
NEOM Energy and Water Company (ENOWA) has been named first runner-up in the Innovative Research and Development Award (International Institutions category) during the fourth cycle of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Global Water Award.
NEOM Port has begun training 10 young Saudi women from the Tabuk region in advanced technical jobs, including remote operation of cranes. This training is part of a pioneering two-year program that combines technical education, practical training, and career guidance.
NEOM Green Hydrogen Co., part of Saudi Arabia’s futuristic city NEOM, is building a foundation for a transformative clean energy sector, aiming for global leadership rather than merely establishing the world’s largest production plant, said its CEO.
The Yanbu-NIC HVDC interconnection is an HVDC Light® project, enabling development of NEOM in Saudi Arabia with up to 9 gigawatts of power transmission capacity. Once completed, the high-voltage direct current (HVDC) transmission systems will have a total power capacity of up to 9 gigawatts (GW) and consist of three HVDC transmission links.
Saudi Arabia’s ambitious NEOM project continues to make headlines, this time with visible progress at OXAGON, its futuristic floating industrial complex. Newly released satellite imagery has revealed significant developments at the Port of NEOM, located in OXAGON, one of the most striking components of the world’s largest construction site. The Port of NEOM is rising on the Red Sea, along one of the busiest maritime trade corridors in the world. Its proximity to the Suez Canal—through which nearly 12% of global trade passes—gives it a pivotal advantage. This location positions OXAGON as a crucial new player in connecting Asia, Africa and Europe.
As of the end of April this year, the cumulative overseas construction orders of domestic construction companies have decreased by 20% compared to the same period last year.
As the world marks World Environment Day, a global celebration of nature and a call to protect our planet, attention turns to an ecological transformation taking place in northwestern Saudi Arabia. NEOM, the Kingdom’s futuristic megacity project, is rapidly becoming a haven for biodiversity — and at the heart of this effort is a renewed commitment to falcon conservation.
