Meet OQ Alternative Energy and Dutco, two members of the consortium developing SalalaH2: one million tons per year of renewable ammonia production in Salalah on Oman’s southwestern coast. 5 GW of wind and solar capacity will power 2 GW of electrolysers.
thyssenkrupp Uhde will supply technology for decarbonising three existing ammonia & urea plants operated by Misr Fertilizers Production Company (MOPCO) on the Nile Delta. This includes electrolysis capacity to feed the production of 150,000 tons per year of renewable ammonia, with Yara Clean Ammonia already committed as offtaker.
TÜV Rheinland has pre-certified Mintal’s renewable ammonia project in northern China. The ammonia produced will be RFNBO-compliant, giving Mintal access to the lucrative EU market.
The Energy Bureau of Inner Mongolia has released plans for a common-user hydrogen pipeline infrastructure network throughout the region. This will support development of a series of renewable ammonia projects, and adds to the growing list of hydrogen pipeline projects across China. To transport the ammonia to key future demand centres (such as power plants and ports), ammonia pipelines may be the next step.
Newly-passed legislation has established the Hydrogen Production Tax Incentive in Australia, worth AU$2 per kg of renewable hydrogen produced for up to ten years per selected project.
The second edition of H2Global’s supply-side auction is organised into five lots - four regional and one global - with around €500 million committed for each eventual contract. Full details for prospective bidders (including roadshow events) are now available.
Pupuk Kujang Fertilizers has announced the trial production of renewable ammonia at its existing factory earlier this month. A total of 50 tons of renewable ammonia will be produced at first, and co-fired in an 8-hour trial at PLN Power Indonesia’s Banten Labuan power plant.
To explore wind-based renewable ammonia production in Nova Scotia and lessons learned from the recently-finished FEED study for the Point Tupper project, EverWind Fuels and Black & Veatch joined Project Features this month. Discussion included a detailed breakdown of the lessons learned designing flexible hydrogen and ammonia production plants.
ACME has selected two Chinese technology providers for the first phase of its renewable ammonia project in Oman, which will produce renewable ammonia from 2027.
Starting in 2027, Hygenco will produce ammonia compliant with the EU’s RFNBO standard. Pre-certification from CertifHy enables access to key European markets, and marks another project milestone achieved in recent months.
