Project Dhakla: one million tons per year from Morocco
UAE-Moroccan developer Dahamco is planning a $25 billion, multi-million ton per year renewable ammonia project at the Port of Dhakla on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. The first phase will feature an investment of $4 billion and produce nearly one million tons of ammonia per year.
Namibia Green Industrialisation Blueprint
We explore Namibia’s vision of a sprawling hydrogen ecosystem. The country plans to leverage its competitive wind and solar energy potential and strategic coastal location to produce electrolytic hydrogen and ammonia for the global market. We also highlight some of the key projects and partnerships already underway, and some key bottlenecks that must be overcome.
Updates from Morocco: renewable ammonia value chain expansion
TotalEnergies, Eren, CIP and A.P. Moller have launched a large-scale renewable energy project which will feature solar-powered electrolytic hydrogen and ammonia production in the Guelmim-Oued Noun region near the Atlantic coast in Morocco. State-owned fertiliser giant OCP Group has also signed agreements with Engie, Bpifrance and the French Development Agency to develop renewable projects and sustainable agriculture in Morocco.
CWP Global, Green Energy Park: mega renewable projects to diversify future commodities
Both have announced partnerships and production projects aimed at the decarbonisation of steel production. Utilizing a similar approach from their large-scale ammonia projects, the pair will develop hubs in Mauritania and Brazil, producing hot-briquetted iron for export to Europe.
First step in establishing Namibia’s renewable hydrogen and ammonia industry
In our October episode of Project Features, Hyphen Hydrogen Energy outlined its multi-phase, mega-scale renewable ammonia project set to be the first step in Namibia’s green industrialization pathway. Learn about current timelines and future expansion scope for the 2 million tons per year project, and how the physical infrastructure footprint has been carefully minimized to allow for its siting in the Tsau Khaeb national park.
CWP Global joins renewable ammonia project in Angola
CWP Global has joined an existing consortium with plans to build a 400,000 tons per year renewable ammonia project in Angola, powered by spare hydroelectric power generation.
Hyphen Hydrogen Energy: Establishing Namibia’s renewable hydrogen and ammonia industry
Meet Hyphen Hydrogen Energy, a renewable ammonia developer focused on production projects in Namibia. Hyphen’s current focus is a project featuring up to 2 million tons of ammonia each year near Port Lüderitz on Namibia’s southwest coast. Hyphen has already secured multiple offtake contracts, and will supply European customers using Chane’s Port of Rotterdam import infrastructure.
