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.
Meet OQ Alternative Energy and Dutco, two members of the consortium developing SalalaH2: one million tons per year of renewable ammonia production in Salalah on Oman’s southwestern coast. 5 GW of wind and solar capacity will power 2 GW of electrolysers.
Following a time-charter agreement between the two companies, NYK will deliver an ammonia-fueled medium gas carrier to Yara Clean Ammonia in November 2026.
