Meet MAE, developer of a 620,000 tons per year renewable ammonia project in northern Chile, proximate to key industrial offtakers and port infrastructure. Joining our conversation is the Millennium Institute on Green Ammonia as Energy Vector, a Chilean not-for-profit supporting the development of a renewable ammonia supply chain in the South American nation.
Following new agreements signed with the Inter-American Development Bank Group and the International Finance Corporation (part of the World Bank Group), a total of $420 million of finance has now been secured, with the remainder to be soon complete.
Technology provider Talus, certification provider CleanCounts (formerly M-RETS), and farmer’s co-operative Central Farm Service plan to deploy two modular ammonia synthesis plants in Minnesota, producing up to 20 tons per day of anhydrous ammonia for use as fertilizer by local farmers.
Spanish energy giant Moeve has approved a €1 billion final investment decision to begin construction in the coming weeks of Project Onuba, the first in several project phases in the “Andalusian Green Hydrogen Valley”.
Envision has delivered its first shipment of renewable, RFNBO-compliant ammonia from its production site in Chifeng, Inner Mongolia to LOTTE Fine Chemical’s chemical import terminal in Ulsan, South Korea.
In our latest episode of Project Features, we explored progress at AM Green's AMGA-K1 renewable ammonia project in Kakinada, India, including architecture for renewable electricity supply, technology partners, RFNBO pre-certification and offtake agreements. India could potentially become a key global ammonia bunker fuel hub, and has an ecosystem of RFNBO-compliant ammonia production sites emerging.
In our March episode of Project Features, we explored the Western Green Energy Hub, a mega-scale renewable hydrogen and ammonia project under-development by InterContinental Energy. Learn more about project progress, architecture, and evolving offtake discussions as the project pushes towards FID in 2029-30.
Meet Air Liquide, which announced the successful start-up of its first industrial-scale ammonia cracking pilot unit at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium. We will also explore a series of ISO standards under development to help regulate the ammonia energy supply chain.
India has joined Japan, Korea and the EU in setting an emissions threshold for renewable ammonia certification. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy will issue methodologies for measurement, reporting, monitoring, on-site verification, and certification.
Kevin Rouwenhorst reports back from the 7th CFAA International Symposium in Tokyo, plus significant progress on the ground for Idemitsu Kosan, NYK Line, Resonac, and IHI Corporation.
