Beginning in Rotterdam, the newly-opened route visits Oslo, Brevik, and Bremerhaven to deliver fertilizer weekly, and will be serviced by the ammonia-powered Yara Eyde from later this year.
Meet AM Green, developers of the renewable ammonia mega-project in Kakinada, India. With FID obtained, pre-certification achieved, and a suite of offtake deals signed, the project is approaching production of renewable molecules. We’ll also be joined by Chemical Market Analytics for an overview of the fascinating context for renewable hydrogen and ammonia in India.
Samsung E&A held a groundbreaking ceremony for the 500,000 tons per year CCS-based ammonia Wabash Low Carbon Ammonia project in Indiana, USA. In other ground breaking news, the first major equipment was erected for AM Green Ammonia’s 1.5 million tons per year renewable ammonia project in Kakinada, India.
Shenzhen Energy’s integrated 150,000 tons per year renewable ammonia production project has been successfully connected to the grid in China, as one of the National Energy Administration’s first approved hydrogen pilot projects.
Burckhardt Compression will supply compression technology to Itochu’s under development ammonia bunkering vessel. The vessel is under construction by Sasaki Shipbuilding and is scheduled for delivery in 2027.
Envision Energy has released further details about its AI architecture, with two “foundation models” working in tandem to optimize renewable energy inputs for ammonia production, potentially unlocking millions of tons of production potential in China. Meanwhile, KBR and UK-based Applied Computing will combine AI capabilities with an existing digital control platform, allowing users to optimize operations.
Duiker Clean Technologies and new partners Plant One have chosen the Port of Rotterdam as the location for the installation of the AMMONEX ammonia cracking pilot plant.
Meet InterContinental Energy, developers of renewable hydrogen and ammonia projects at oil & gas scale. We will explore progress on the Western Green Energy Hub project in Australia, featuring up to 70 GW of wind and solar at full scale.
Provided robust safeguards are in place, ammonia ship-to-ship transfers are technically and operationally feasible at Raffles Reserve Anchorage in Singapore. Combined HAZID and HAZOP analyses identified zero high-level risks and eleven medium-level risks, and the report includes a series of detailed operational recommendations for the first pilot ammonia StS transfer in Singapore port.
In our January episode of Project Features, we explored a now-operational renewable ammonia project in Uzbekistan, the historical use of water electrolysis for hydrogen, ammonia and fertilizer production, and future plans in the Central Asian nation.
