Energy storage provider VTTI is currently receiving expressions of interest from stakeholders for capacity reservation and allocation for both ammonia storage and cracking. VTTI is planning two ammonia import terminals in Rotterdam and Antwerp as part of Project Amplifhy.
Korea Southern Power will co-fire ammonia at Unit 1 of the KOSPO-owned Samcheok Bitdream Headquarters power plant, likely sourcing the ammonia fuel from Pilot Energy’s Mid West Clean Energy Project in Australia.
In the first stage of Project Gaucho, 3 GW of electrolysers will be powered by a 4.2 GW wind farm, leading to the production of up to 1.7 million tons of ammonia per year. RP Global and German development agency GIZ will develop the project, supported by an official German government program for ramping up the nascent hydrogen industry.
VNG will purchase up to 150,000 tons per year of renewable ammonia from 2029, supplying it directly to its German customers or cracking it on arrival and supplying hydrogen.
UAE-Moroccan developer Dahamco is planning a $25 billion, multi-million ton per year renewable ammonia project at the Port of Dhakla on Morocco’s Atlantic coast. The first phase will feature an investment of $4 billion and produce nearly one million tons of ammonia per year.
The Western Green Energy Hub will proceed to the official environmental approvals stage after receiving the green light from state authorities. FID for the first stage of the project is due in 2029.
In our November episode of Project Features, we explored the MadoquaPower2X renewable ammonia project in Sines, southern Portugal. 300,000 tons per year of RFNBO-compliant ammonia will be produced for export to Rotterdam and Duisburg from 2028, focused on marine fuel and fertilizer markets in Europe.
We explore future ammonia production pathways for the Caribbean nation, including ongoing plans for CCS and renewable-based projects. The Energy Chamber of Trinidad & Tobago and Argus Media join us in conversation.
LBC Tank Terminals has completed a 100% share acquisition of Evolution Terminals, including plans to develop a new renewable commodities import terminal in Vlissingen, Netherlands. The new terminal features an initial phase of 150,000m3, and is expected to be operational at the end of 2028.
We explore Namibia’s vision of a sprawling hydrogen ecosystem. The country plans to leverage its competitive wind and solar energy potential and strategic coastal location to produce electrolytic hydrogen and ammonia for the global market. We also highlight some of the key projects and partnerships already underway, and some key bottlenecks that must be overcome.
