CWP Global has joined an existing consortium with plans to build a 400,000 tons per year renewable ammonia project in Angola, powered by spare hydroelectric power generation.
RWE Supply & Trading will offtake 250,000 tons per year of AM Green Ammonia’s RFNBO-compliant ammonia from production sites in India. The ammonia is expected to be delivered from 2027.
Yara is expanding its capabilities for import of low-emission ammonia across Europe, with new infrastructure and a series of offtake agreements already announced in 2024. Hear more from Yara Clean Ammonia CEO Hans Olav Raen at our upcoming annual conference.
Ohmium will develop 300 MW of PEM electrolyser capacity for SwitcH2’s offshore hydrogen and ammonia production vessel. Moored off the coast of southern Europe, the 268m-long vessel will be powered by nearshore renewable energy, and the electrolysers fed by desalinated seawater, producing enough ammonia to “fuel multiple oceangoing vessels for a full year”.
Yara has officially opened its new ammonia import terminal in Germany, with enough capacity to handle 3 million tons of ammonia imports per year. In France, Trammo will support the redevelopment of a section of Elengy’s Fos Tonkin LNG terminal into an ammonia import location, including construction of an ammonia storage tank, rail access and bunkering facilities.
As shown in the IEA’s recently released Global Hydrogen Review 2024, the cumulative hydrogen production capacity reaching Final Investment Decision has doubled compared to last year. Promisingly, low-emission ammonia comprises a significant portion of both the mature project pipeline and secured offtake volume.
Meet MadoquaPower2X, a renewable hydrogen and ammonia project under development in Sines, southern Portugal. Starting from 2028, around 50,000 tons of renewable hydrogen will be produced to generate around 300,000 tons of decarbonized ammonia, targeting the maritime fuel and fertilizer markets in Europe and beyond.
Meet Hyphen Hydrogen Energy, a renewable ammonia developer focused on production projects in Namibia. Hyphen’s current focus is a project featuring up to 2 million tons of ammonia each year near Port Lüderitz on Namibia’s southwest coast. Hyphen has already secured multiple offtake contracts, and will supply European customers using Chane’s Port of Rotterdam import infrastructure.
First Ammonia has closed a successful Series B funding round, including contributions from Asian investors Mercuria Holdings and Manies Group. Funding will go directly towards the construction of First Ammonia’s renewable production plant near the Port of Victoria, Texas.
The governments of Australia and Germany have agreed to establish a bilateral H2Global tender, contributing €200 million each to a joint auction. The process will be similar to a recently-concluded pilot auction for long-term ammonia exports from Egypt to Rotterdam, and a just-launched Canadian scheme.
