GoSolar Energy’s industrial complex currently under development in northern Arizona will enable mega-scale CCS-based and renewable ammonia based fertiliser production for the local and export markets.
Larsen & Toubro and ITOCHU will develop and commercialise a 300,000 tons per year renewable ammonia plant in Kandla, on India’s west coast. L&T reportedly plans to invest over $5.6 billion in six ammonia production plants around Kandla, serving marine fuel, bunker and export markets.
Following the then-record delivery price submitted in early August, Jakson Green has now committed to supply 85,000 tons per year of renewable ammonia over a ten-year fixed contract, with a fixed delivery price of approximately $580 per ton. Three more price discovery data points were also announced last week, meaning we now have six of the thirteen subsidy winners announced.
In our recent episode of Project Features, we explored the outcomes from a recent ammonia bunkering demonstration at the Port of Rotterdam. With twelve ammonia transfer and bunkering demonstrations occurring in nine global locations since 2024, where does the Port Readiness Level for ammonia bunkering stand in Rotterdam and elsewhere, what are the key technical learnings, and what gaps remain?
Hintco is inviting applications from renewable hydrogen and related fuel producers to participate in its supply-side auctions focussing on bidders from Africa, Asia, America & Oceania, and North America.
IRENA’s new market analysis forecasts a diverse landscape of commodity flows based on electrolytic hydrogen by 2050, with ammonia predicted to be both the most in-demand and the “most traded” of the hydrogen commodities. IRENA predicts flows of more than 100 million tons per year by mid-century, with major exporters to potentially include China and the USA.
As part of the new joint venture, the pair will lead construction of two 51,530 m3 ammonia-fueled ammonia carriers, which will also be capable of carrying LPG. Contracts have to build the vessels near Shanghai, with deliveries scheduled to take place in June and October 2028.
Phase one of China Energy Engineering Group’s Songyuan project will come online this September, producing 200,000 tons per year of RFNBO-compliant ammonia. Ammonia produced in Songyuan (and Energy China’s other major renewable project in Chifeng) will be transported to Panjin Port, where Energy China co-owns a large-scale ammonia storage terminal.
In our June Episode of Project Features, the Institute for Sustainable Process Technology and Sunoco LP joined us to discuss ammonia pipelines. What lessons and best-practices can we draw from existing pipeline networks, and what design & risk mitigation factors are critical to the development of new ammonia pipeline routes?
