Allianz invests in Norwegian renewable ammonia production

Allianz will invest €20 million in Fuella, a Norway-based project developer currently working on two renewable ammonia production projects. Fuella’s plants in Skipavika (100,000 tonnes per year) and Korgen (200,000 tonnes) will utilise renewable electricity from Norway’s grid to produce ammonia. The projects will target the marine fuels & fertiliser sectors.

China: scaling-up “flexible” ammonia production powered by renewable energy

The cost gap between fossil-based ammonia production and electrolysis-based ammonia production in China is arguably the smallest in the world. In our May episode of Ammonia Project Features, we explored two new, “flexible” renewable ammonia projects being developed in northeast China, as well as some of the engineering challenges as we scale-up electrolysis plants to gigawatt-sized.
