The 20,000 ton, semi-submersible, energy self-sufficient platform will begin commercial trials in northeast China. Electrolytic hydrogen will be fed into methanol and ammonia production, targeting marine fuel and chemical feedstock markets.
BASF’s new 72-stack electrolyser will produce about 8,000 tons per year of renewable hydrogen for use as a feedstock in the company’s production facilities.
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.
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.
In our latest episode of Project Features, we explored the FertigHy consortium’s plans to construct its first grid-connected ammonia and fertilizer plant in northern France. Using electrolytic hydrogen produced from France’s renewable and nuclear-dominated grid, FertigHy will provide long-term, fixed-price fertilizer supplies to the EU, reducing dependence on imports. Technology licensor and project partner Stamicarbon explored considerations for low-emission ammonia plants, and the technology sets available.
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.
Partnering with Landus, TalusAg has deployed its containerised, modular, anhydrous ammonia production system for commercial renewable ammonia production in Boone, Iowa, unlocking a new domestic fertiliser supply chain in the US.
thyssenkrupp Uhde will supply technology for decarbonising three existing ammonia & urea plants operated by Misr Fertilizers Production Company (MOPCO) on the Nile Delta. This includes electrolysis capacity to feed the production of 150,000 tons per year of renewable ammonia, with Yara Clean Ammonia already committed as offtaker.
TÜV Rheinland has pre-certified Mintal’s renewable ammonia project in northern China. The ammonia produced will be RFNBO-compliant, giving Mintal access to the lucrative EU market.
Newly-passed legislation has established the Hydrogen Production Tax Incentive in Australia, worth AU$2 per kg of renewable hydrogen produced for up to ten years per selected project.
