thyssenkrupp's annual production output of 1 GW alkaline water electrolysis cells will expand five-fold, thanks to new funding from Germany's Federal Ministry of Education and Research. There is also federal funding for two additional projects: H2Mare (offshore ammonia production), and TransHyDE (ammonia cracking solutions).
In December last year DEME Concessions and OQ announced their new HYPORT® Duqm green ammonia project. The 250 - 500 MW facility (in the first instance) will harness wind and solar energy to produce green ammonia, which could then be easily exported from the adjacent port. This week DEME and OQ took another step by signing a key cooperation agreement with Uniper. The global energy giant will provide engineering services and negotiate an exclusive off-take agreement of green ammonia.
