Sungrow Hydrogen has successfully shipped 160 MW worth of alkaline water electrolysis units to ACME in Oman, to be installed and utilised at a renewable ammonia project in Duqm on the country’s southern coast. Shuangliang Group, another China-based technology provider, recently shipped 160 MW of its own units to ACME in Duqm. ACME already has full offtake for the first phase of the Duqm project guaranteed by Yara Clean Ammonia, and first ammonia deliveries are anticipated next year.

Units ordered for Kenya geothermal project

Sungrow Hydrogen will also supply 16 units of its 1,000 Nm³/h alkaline electrolysers (along with power supplies and balance-of-plant systems) to Kaishan Group for a geothermal ammonia production project in Kenya.

From its existing geothermal wells, domestic utility KenGen will supply steam worth 165.4 MW of geothermal energy to Kaishan, feeding into a new geothermal power plant, the Kaishan Olkaria Geothermal Power Plant. At full scale, with a total investment value of $800 million, the project will feature 200,000 tons per year of renewable ammonia, and subsequently about 480,000 tons of nitrogenous fertiliser (180,000 tons urea and 300,000 tons of calcium ammonium nitrate).
