Explore developments in Sub-Saharan Africa with MET Development, Sable Chemicals and the African Hydrogen Partnership, including a renewable ammonia production projects near Lake Naivasha in Kenya.
The pair will explore a new, 250,000-tonnes-per-year renewable ammonia production facility in India, powered by 1.3 GW of solar, wind and pumped hydro generating capacity. The ammonia will be used for “demand for low carbon energy” in India and Singapore, and also as bunker fuel. In related news, Indian energy major Jakson Green has announced it will build a $2.8 billion, 365,000 tonnes per year renewable ammonia production plant in Kota, northern India.
FFI is among six organisations to be allocated land in the Oakajee Strategic Industrial Area, about four hundred kilometers north of Western Australia’s capital city Perth. Oakajee SIA is adjacent to huge solar & wind generating potential, and is envisioned to become a renewable hydrogen-based industrial precinct & export hub.
MEPs have voted to adopt the FuelEU Maritime Initiative, a suite of measures that will drive decarbonisation of shipping in the EU. From 2030, at least 2% of the yearly average energy used onboard a vessel must be met with Renewable Fuels of Non-Biological Origin, with an option to revise this requirement by 2028 at the latest.
Meet CWP Global, developers of 30 GW of wind & solar in Mauritania (the AMAN project), and 15 GW of wind & solar in Morocco (AMUN project), with both projects focused on renewable ammonia production. To explore the social-economic benefits of these projects, hear from SYSTEMIQ.
Fortescue Future Industries and Incitec Pivot will progress plans to convert the Gibson Island ammonia production facility to run on renewable hydrogen feedstock. A grant from Australian government body ARENA will help FEED work begin immediately, with FID expected around 2025. We also explore more renewable project updates from Peru and Chile.
For the latest episode of Ammonia Project Features, we explored the ongoing renewable ammonia project in Puertollano, Spain. Marc van Doorn (Grupo Fertiberia) and Imanol Arrizabalaga Prado (Nel ASA) discussed progress to date and technologies used at the first large-scale, electrolysis-based hydrogen facility in Europe, which is operated by renewable energy developer Iberdrola. We also considered what other pioneering projects are on the horizon, and how can electrolyzer manufacturers like Nel scale-up to meet growing demand?
Green NortH2 Energy, Meriaura and Wärtsilä will develop a cargo vessel capable of running on ammonia fuel. Propelled by Wärtsilä multi-fuel engines, the vessel will be owned and operated by Meriaura, with Green NortH2 Energy to supply renewable ammonia fuel from its to-be-built production plant in Naantali, southwest Finland.
