India launches subsidy scheme for renewable ammonia production

Julian Atchison February 06, 2024

The Indian government has launched a new incentive scheme for renewable ammonia, aiming to support the production of 550,000 tonnes per year from 2027. The news comes as the first winners of subsidies for renewable hydrogen production & domestic electrolyser manufacturing were announced. In December, the government also amended an existing scheme to provide financial assistance for new-build vessels powered by green fuels, including ammonia.

Renewable ammonia exports from Brazil: Project Iracema

Kevin Rouwenhorst January 14, 2024

In our latest episode of Ammonia Project Features, we explored Project Iracema: a grid-connected, renewable ammonia production facility under-development in Pecem, northeast Brazil. To discuss Brazil’s unique electricity market, project details and the important role of certification to the project, AEA Technology Manager Kevin Rouwenhorst was joined by Jonas Rechreche (Proton Ventures), Matheus Kleming (Casa dos Ventos) and Ricardo Gedra (CCEE).

Electrolyzer solutions play a fundamental role in Green and Hybrid Ammonia Plants

Francisco Jimenez Garcia

The first section of the presentation will cover the current technology status of electrolysis with a special focus on industrial and large-scale plants. It will explain different electrolyzer plant configurations according to project size to be used as reference for existing Ammonia plants and different integration capacity. The second part of the presentation will cover main technical and commercial considerations that need to be considered in integrating electrolysis to decarbonize existing gas ammonia facilities, such as: electrolysis integration, impact of the renewable power source, SMR flexibility, auxiliary systems to consider, land availability, O&M considerations, technology scale up, etc.

Renewable ammonia exports from Brazil: Project Iracema

Julian Atchison

Meet partners developing Project Pecem in the northern state of Ceara, Brazil. The first phase of Project Iracema is set to come online in 2027, with the aim of producing ammonia compliant with certification requirements for the export of the renewable hydrogen to Europe. At full capacity, 2.2 million tonnes of grid-connected ammonia production capacity will be enabled.

OCI Global: renewable ammonia in Texas

Julian Atchison September 26, 2023

OCI will offtake electrolytic hydrogen feedstock from New Fortress Energy’s ZeroParks facility from 2025, allowing for the production of 80,000 tonnes per year of renewable ammonia at its Beaumont plant in Texas. This “over-the-fence” feedstock approach will also be employed in the development of a new multi-million tonne per year, greenfield ammonia plant in Beaumont, with Linde to own & operate an adjacent, CCS-based hydrogen production plant.
