Discussions will commence for the supply, purchase, and sale of ammonia from two of CIP’s ongoing mega-projects - St. Charles in Louisiana and Murchison in Western Australia - to Lotte in South Korea. Meanwhile, Lotte has selected KBR’s synthesis technology for its hydro-ammonia production project in Malaysia.
Amogy will deploy its ammonia-to-power systems onboard electrical Platform Supply Vessels (ePSVs) for Norway-based Green Ships Invest. As well as the new ePSV design, the pair will explore the use of Amogy’s technology onboard two additional vessel types. Amogy has also entered into a partnership with W-Industries for the fabrication, deployment and commissioning of its ammonia-to-power systems.
The Canadian and German governments have agreed to establish a bilateral funding window for hydrogen derivative exports between the two countries. H2Global will conduct “coordinated supply and demand side auctions”, with ammonia-producing projects on Canada’s Atlantic coast likely frontrunners for funding. In related news, Pattern Energy, lead developer of one of these export projects, will work with Mabanaft to explore a renewable ammonia supply chain between Newfoundland and Hamburg.
The pair have signed a firm and binding agreement for the supply of ammonia from ACME’s under-development project in Oman. 100,000 tons per year of RFNBO-compliant, renewable ammonia will be delivered from 2027, feeding into Yara’s global distribution system.
Launched in 2022, MAIRE Tecnimont will complete FEED for the MadoquaPower2X project in Sines, Portugal, as well as an EPC proposal for construction. The project will feature up to 1 GW of alkaline electrolysis capacity, feeding the production of 300,000 tons per year of ammonia. Terminal facilities will include large-scale storage, enabling the export of ammonia to northwest Europe.
A Norwegian-Ugandan consortium will develop a hydroelectric-powered hydrogen, ammonia and fertiliser production facility. Producing 200,000 metric tons of fertiliser every year based on hydroelectricity, the project aims to reduce Uganda’s reliance on expensive fertiliser imports.
