Lantmännen has signed a three year agreement with Sweden-based dairy co-op Arla for the supply, distribution and use of fossil-free fertilizers. In Germany, OCI Global has begun supplying chemical manufacturer Lanxess with lower-emission ammonia from Rotterdam, and will supply agricultural co-op RWZ with lower-emission fertilizers.
Amogy, GS Engineering & Construction, HD Hyundai Infracore, and the city of Pohang will collaborate to deploy a 1 MW ammonia-powered distributed power generation system in 2026, scaling up to a commercial, 40 MW system by 2028-29.
The concept design can deliver up to 210,000 tons of pipeline-quality hydrogen per year from ammonia imports, and will feature in a number of projects in Germany.
Adani Energy Solutions has had a $330 million transmission project approved that will supply power to its renewable hydrogen and ammonia project in Mundra, Gujarat. The first phase of the Mundra Green Hydrogen Hub will feature 1 million tons per year hydrogen production capacity, with ammonia to be utilized for coal co-firing, marine fuel, exports, and as a substitute for current feedstock imports into India.
The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is in the process of finalising new guidelines for the safe importation of hydrogen and ammonia into Japan. The guidelines will identify key legislative considerations, outline key design and process considerations, and act as a useful starting point for relevant stakeholders to plan for new energy imports.
Brazilian solar developer Solatio has received approval for a 3 GW grid connection, connecting its new hydrogen & ammonia project to Brazil's renewables-dominated northeast grid. FID on the $4.7 billion project is due this year.
Adding terminal storage capabilities to its fleet of marine transportation and logistics fleet, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines has acquired LBC Tank Terminals. LBC is currently inviting expressions of interest for its Vlissingen ammonia storage and cracking terminal, which is set to become operational in 2028.
Once operational, the Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners-led Murchison Green Hydrogen project will receive AU$814 million in hydrogen production credits from the Australian government as part of the Hydrogen Headstart program. Nearly 1.8 million tons of renewable ammonia per year will be produced, primarily for export to Asian markets.
MHI has joined the Clean Energy Precinct project in Newcastle, Australia, and will leverage its experience developing the Takasago Hydrogen Park in Japan. Located adjacent to the world’s largest coal port, the Clean Energy Precinct will feature “production, storage, distribution and export” facilities, focused on electrolytic hydrogen and ammonia.
The pair will collaborate to link North Ammonia’s planned production sites in Norway with demand in Europe, via deployment of Höegh’s under-development floating ammonia cracker.
