New Canadian export projects unveiled
Article

Last month, four significant production projects were announced in Canada’s maritime provinces:

  • An export facility producing ammonia fuel at the Port of Belledune, New Brunswick. The Port Authority has also signed an agreement to create a direct trade corridor with the Port of Wilhelmshaven in Germany.
  • Two projects powered by onshore wind in southwest Newfoundland: the 100,000 tonnes-per-year Project Nujio’Qonik, and the 900,000 tonnes per year Project Lynx, with the latter being developed by Fortescue Future Industries.

Fortescue, AGL to explore decarbonisation in the Hunter Valley
Article

Australian energy giant AGL will team up with Fortescue Future Industries to explore the feasibility of industrial-scale production of renewable hydrogen & ammonia in the Hunter Valley near Newcastle, Australia. AGL’s existing Liddell power station is due to close next year and begin conversion into the Hunter Energy Hub, with grid-scale batteries, wind & solar generation, clean industry and hydrogen & ammonia production to replace the coal-fired facility. Origin Energy, Orica, Incitec Pivot Limited and Keppel Infrastructure are already exploring similar plans in the area, based on existing ammonia production plants at Kooragang Island near Newcastle.

Iberdrola and bp join forces in Europe

Green ammonia for Europe, Australian opportunity
Presentation

The war in the Ukraine has had resounding impacts across the globe, displacing millions of people and facing Europe into an uncertain energy future. Germany is leading Europe’s efforts to understand if green hydrogen and ammonia can replace some of the existing fuel sources and provide the imports necessary for Germany to meet their Net Zero targets. Australia is seen as a key values based partners and potential source of abundant green ammonia.
