Winning projects in the second round of the EU Hydrogen Bank auction have been announced. Requesting production subsidies similar to first round winners, fifteen renewable hydrogen projects will be funded over ten years, including two ammonia projects led by IGNIS in Spain. A third auction round is set to launch later this year.
Phase 1 of Envision’s project – with an annual ammonia production capacity of 300,000 tons – is set to come online very soon. Envision will begin offering certified renewable ammonia to both international and domestic markets from Q4 2025.
InterContinental Energy’s new hydrogen production technology, the P2(H2)Node system, colocates hydrogen production within wind and solar farms, lowering Capex and increasing efficiency through minimising expensive electrical transmission infrastructure.
Coal India Limited will supply a total of 4,500 MW of wind and solar energy to power AM Green’s renewable ammonia portfolio in India which currently totals up to about 5 million tons-per-year.
BASF has launched a new renewable ammonia product to its customers. The product launch comes shortly after the company deployed a 54 MW PEM electrolyser at its Ludwigshaven manufacturing site for renewable hydrogen production.
In our May Episode of Project Features, OQ Alternative Energy Dutco joined us to discuss progress on SalalaH2, a renewable ammonia export project under development on Oman’s southwestern coast. Technical specifications, shared infrastructure, and further decarbonization of existing OQ assets at Salalah were explored.
Accelerate to Demonstrate (A2D) – a UK government-backed UNIDO initiative – will provide support for the Daures Green Hydrogen Village project, aiming to produce low carbon fertilisers in Namibia from 2027.
Adani Energy Solutions has had a $330 million transmission project approved that will supply power to its renewable hydrogen and ammonia project in Mundra, Gujarat. The first phase of the Mundra Green Hydrogen Hub will feature 1 million tons per year hydrogen production capacity, with ammonia to be utilized for coal co-firing, marine fuel, exports, and as a substitute for current feedstock imports into India.
John Cockerill will provide its pressurized alkaline electrolysis technology, and partner with Vietnam-based The Green Solutions to develop the 182,000 tons per year Tra Vinh ammonia production project.
More than half the awarded funding goes towards ammonia, including GW-scale projects led by Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners and Moeve. IGNIS has also won funding for its maritime fuel-focused project in Coruña.
