Over 15 years, commencing FY2029, Samsung C&T will offtake ammonia produced at the Dhirubhai Ambani Green Energy Giga Complex in Jamnagar, Gujarat, northwest India.
Following new agreements signed with the Inter-American Development Bank Group and the International Finance Corporation (part of the World Bank Group), a total of $420 million of finance has now been secured, with the remainder to be soon complete.
China-based Shuangliang Group announced that it has delivered sixteen of its electrolysis units to ACME for the first stage of its renewable ammonia project in Duqm, Oman.
EverWind Fuels has secured a $175 million strategic investment from Nuveen Energy Infrastructure Credit, advancing 650-plus MW of onshore wind in Nova Scotia. The renewable energy is part of the first phase of the Point Tupper renewable ammonia project.
Japan Bank for International Cooperation will lead a co-financed, billion dollar loan to JERA for investment in the Blue Point mega-project in the USA.
In our latest episode of Project Features, we explored progress at AM Green's AMGA-K1 renewable ammonia project in Kakinada, India, including architecture for renewable electricity supply, technology partners, RFNBO pre-certification and offtake agreements. India could potentially become a key global ammonia bunker fuel hub, and has an ecosystem of RFNBO-compliant ammonia production sites emerging.
