Phase one of China Energy Engineering Group’s Songyuan project will come online this September, producing 200,000 tons per year of RFNBO-compliant ammonia. Ammonia produced in Songyuan (and Energy China’s other major renewable project in Chifeng) will be transported to Panjin Port, where Energy China co-owns a large-scale ammonia storage terminal.
Sungrow Hydrogen will provide alkaline electrolysers for a new hydrogen and ammonia project in Jilin province. China Energy Engineering Corporation is leading development of the project, which will produce 600,000 tons of renewable ammonia each year. In Inner Mongolia, construction has begun on a similar-sized plant, which will produce ammonia from wind and solar energy.
State-owned enterprise China Energy has announced new ammonia initiatives in three countries, with a reported budget of $20 billion to invest outside China over the next few years. A partnership with Petrobras in Brazil, construction of a new renewable ammonia mega-project in Morocco, and a construction start date for a renewable ammonia plant next to the Suez Canal in Egypt have all been announced in the last few weeks.
