Qatar Energy has laid the foundation stone of its new 1.2 million tons per year ammonia project in Mesaieed Industrial City, south of the capital Doha on the Persian Gulf coast.
Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners has signed MoUs with two shipping companies to develop vessels that will feature a dual-fuel ammonia engine and full ammonia bunkering capabilities. The new vessels will help CIP transport and distribute ammonia from its planned production projects.
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.
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.
TotalEnergies, Eren, CIP and A.P. Moller have launched a large-scale renewable energy project which will feature solar-powered electrolytic hydrogen and ammonia production in the Guelmim-Oued Noun region near the Atlantic coast in Morocco. State-owned fertiliser giant OCP Group has also signed agreements with Engie, Bpifrance and the French Development Agency to develop renewable projects and sustainable agriculture in Morocco.
Explore a new report from India-based non-profit iFOREST, which sets out a roadmap for the decarbonization of urea production in India. On the supply side, electrolysis deployment for ammonia production and pipeline deployment to couple industrial CO2 emitters with existing urea production plants is key to reducing agricultural emissions.
The US Department of Energy has concluded negotiations with two more Hydrogen Hub consortia, committing funding to the Gulf Coast Hydrogen Hub (up to $1.2 billion) and the Midwest Hydrogen Hub (up to $1 billion).
EDF Group has joined Abraxas Power to jointly develop the Exploits Valley Renewable Energy hydrogen and ammonia project in central Newfoundland, Canada. The equity partners aim to reach FID in 2026.
