UEG, Abu Qir Fertilizers, Alexfert and Orascom Construction will explore development of a renewable ammonia plant producing 480 tons per day in Alexandria, Egypt.
Topsoe’s ModuLiteTM ammonia production technology will feature in the 100,000 tons per year Jordan Green Ammonia project, being developed by Hynfra.
PlasmaLeap Technologies has secured almost AU$30 million in Series A funding to further develop its plasma-assisted, NOX electrolysis technology process, and to progress deployment of decentralized “fertiliser hubs”. Also in Australia, OzAmmonia has signed an MoU with Jakson Green to explore a pilot project in India, demonstrating OzAmmonia’s NOX-to-ammonia technology.
Four Indian renewable ammonia producers – ACME, Jakson Green, SCC and Oriana Power – have signed binding, 10-year supply contracts to deliver ammonia to domestic fertiliser manufacturers.
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.
Technology provider Talus, certification provider CleanCounts (formerly M-RETS), and farmer’s co-operative Central Farm Service plan to deploy two modular ammonia synthesis plants in Minnesota, producing up to 20 tons per day of anhydrous ammonia for use as fertilizer by local farmers.
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.
India has joined Japan, Korea and the EU in setting an emissions threshold for renewable ammonia certification. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy will issue methodologies for measurement, reporting, monitoring, on-site verification, and certification.
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.
The Fertilizer Institute has released a new edition of its calculation methodology for the Verified Ammonia Carbon Intensity (VACI) certification scheme, expanding the program to include key ammonia derivatives for agricultural and industrial use.
