In our March episode of Project Features, we explored the Western Green Energy Hub, a mega-scale renewable hydrogen and ammonia project under-development by InterContinental Energy. Learn more about project progress, architecture, and evolving offtake discussions as the project pushes towards FID in 2029-30.
Meet Air Liquide, which announced the successful start-up of its first industrial-scale ammonia cracking pilot unit at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges in Belgium. We will also explore a series of ISO standards under development to help regulate the ammonia energy supply chain.
Kevin Rouwenhorst reports back from the 7th CFAA International Symposium in Tokyo, plus significant progress on the ground for Idemitsu Kosan, NYK Line, Resonac, and IHI Corporation.
Under a new agreement, ACWA, EnBW, Rostock Port and VNG will establish a new renewable ammonia and hydrogen corridor between Saudi Arabia and Germany. The corridor will see ACWA’s renewable ammonia from Yanbu being exported to Germany via the Port of Rostock.
To be managed by the European Investment Bank, the grants include €35 million to Norwegian company Scatec for its under-development Egypt Green project in Ain Sokhna, with FID expected in the coming months.
Great Oceans Green Ammonia is Sri Lanka’s “pioneering” renewable ammonia and methanol developer. 4 GW of offshore wind, onshore solar and battery storage will not only help decarbonise Sri Lanka’s power sector, but produce methanol and ammonia fuel: 500,000 tons per year by 2030. Sri Lanka sits directly on the primary east-west shipping corridor connecting Southeast Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and East Africa.
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 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.
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.
