In April this year, a ship-to-ship ammonia bunkering demonstration was completed at the Port of Rotterdam. In October, two parties, OCI and VICTROL, who participated in the pilot, reached an agreement towards commercial implementation of ammonia bunkering.
At the recent India Maritime Week event, VOC Port Authority signed agreements with ACME ($1.4 billion) and CGS Energy ($570 million) for renewable ammonia production projects, and an agreement with Sembcorp for a $2.9 billion, common-use storage project for ammonia and other liquid commodities.
Jilin Electric Power’s renewable ammonia production plant in Da’an, northeast China, has been awarded “ISCC EU RFNBO Ammonia” certification, enabling entry into EU markets.
The pair have signed an agreement for the investment of $1.6 million for new ammonia storage facilities and import infrastructure on Korea’s southeast coast. Two large-scale tanks, new vessel berths and an offshore transfer pipeline will be capable of handling 1.25 million tons of ammonia throughput every year.
The pair will develop a “master plan” for production, transport and utilization of renewable ammonia to Japan, Singapore, and other APAC markets. The development progress of the renewable ammonia production ecosystem in India (and recent SECI auction results and project requirements) were explored at a recent World Bank webinar.
