Learn from Ambient Fuels’ educational podcast series the Great Green Upgrade, featuring interviews with key stakeholders from around the renewable hydrogen and ammonia industry. Senior Director of Development Emily Wolf will lead a discussion around the deployment of electrolysis for ammonia production at next week’s AEA annual conference in New Orleans.
Yara is expanding its capabilities for import of low-emission ammonia across Europe, with new infrastructure and a series of offtake agreements already announced in 2024. Hear more from Yara Clean Ammonia CEO Hans Olav Raen at our upcoming annual conference.
Yara has officially opened its new ammonia import terminal in Germany, with enough capacity to handle 3 million tons of ammonia imports per year. In France, Trammo will support the redevelopment of a section of Elengy’s Fos Tonkin LNG terminal into an ammonia import location, including construction of an ammonia storage tank, rail access and bunkering facilities.
Jefferson Terminal South, a new “state-of-the-art blue ammonia facility”, will include one deep draft berth, with expansion already planned. The Port of Beaumont has issued $382 million in facility revenue bonds to help finance construction.
As part of a new agreement with the Spanish government, Envision Energy will develop a fully integrated green industrial park in Spain, producing key renewable technologies for renewable hydrogen projects in Europe. In Namibia, Envision and Zhero will collaborate on a 500,000 tons per year renewable ammonia plant, to be located near Walvis Bay.
We highlight ammonia developments in Taiwan in line with the island nation’s plans to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050:
In our July episode of Project Features, we were joined by the Port of Rotterdam, OCI Global and Chane to explore current and future ammonia imports into Rotterdam. With significant ammonia import targets set for 2050, terminal projects are already underway in Rotterdam, including a four-phase expansion of OCI Terminal Europoort, and a new distribution hub from Chane. These developments will proceed according to a modern, updated set of guidelines for ammonia storage and handling in the Netherlands, known as PGS-12.
OCI will deliver a fully-staffed, fully-operational ammonia production facility in Beaumont, Texas to Woodside later this year. The greenfield, 1.1 million ton per year facility will be supplied with CCS hydrogen feedstock from Linde starting in 2026.
Trammo will purchase up to 100% of renewable ammonia produced by Allied Green Ammonia in the Northern Territory, Australia, with the first ammonia sales anticipated to occur in late 2028. In further news for AGA’s project, Germany-based EPC firm SPG Steiner will supply two 40,000 ton, cryogenic tanks to store ammonia production before offtake.
Together with Global Energy Storage, Stolthaven Terminals has been selected as the preferred choice to plan, design, build and operate an ammonia terminal in Pecém, Brazil. The new terminal will facilitate exports from a number of ammonia production projects planned for the area.
