Four Indian renewable ammonia producers – ACME, Jakson Green, SCC and Oriana Power – have signed binding, 10-year supply contracts to deliver ammonia to domestic fertiliser manufacturers.
The Japanese government will provide financial support to the development of two ammonia import and supply hubs. Adjacent to its Hekinan power plant, JERA will lead development of a hub that will provide fuel ammonia for co-firing, plus distribution facilities for other industrial customers. In Hokkaido, IHI and Hokkaido Electric will develop a hub by 2030, with power generation and industrial customers in the area.
A new study from the pair has found that, with the right regulatory settings, verified low-carbon ammonia marine fuel produced in China can achieve cost parity with VLSFO and LNG at current prices, even before additional subsidies or rewards are applied.
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.
Meet EXMAR and Lloyd’s Register, two marine first-movers preparing for the use of ammonia as a marine fuel. Learn about EXMAR’s ammonia-fueled gas carriers due for delivery this year, and a partnership with Lloyd’s Register to develop guidelines for the safe use of ammonia cargo as fuel.
