At capacity, the Jordan Green Ammonia facility will produce between 100,000 – 200,000 tonnes of renewable ammonia per year, powered by 530 MW of solar energy. The ammonia produced will be used both locally and for export to the European market.
The pre-FEED phase for Hyrasia One will conclude at the end of this year. The project expects to build a 2 million tonne per year renewable hydrogen (or 11 million tonnes per year ammonia) facility by 2032 both for local use and for the export market.
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.
OCP Group will build a $7 billion ammonia production facility near Tarfaya in Morocco's south. Powered by 3.8 GW of wind and solar energy, 200,000 tonnes per year of renewable ammonia will be produced from 2026, rising to 3 million tonnes per year from 2032.
Hydrom (Hydrogen Oman) has signed commercial term sheets and allocated land to a series of important ammonia export projects being developed in the Gulf nation. Green Energy Oman is one of three project consortia granted land near Duqm in the country’s south, with further allocations expected in the coming months. Also in Duqm, ENGIE & POSCO have launched a million-tonne-per-year ammonia production project, with the full production output to be exported to Korea over the forty year operational lifetime of the plant.
Trammo will purchase & sell up to 100,000 tonnes per year of renewable ammonia from Iberdrola in Spain, starting in 2026. The agreement kickstarts a green hydrogen corridor linking southern and northern Europe, with Trammo to focus on ammonia sales to industrial customers.
Hy2gen and Plug Power’s renewable ammonia project will be part of a total 2.2 GW deployment across Finland, aiming to strategically utilise the country’s fast decarbonising grid and policy support at both national and EU level. Also in Finland, Flexens’ 300 MW hydrogen and ammonia project is expected to become operational in 2027, increasing the fraction of Europe’s ammonia and hydrogen needs produced locally.
First Ammonia and the Port of Victoria have announced a partnership to produce renewable ammonia at the Port on Texas’ Gulf Coast. Electrolytic hydrogen feedstock will be produced via renewable energy, with the ammonia plant expected to be fully operational in 2025.
The pair will join forces to promote the adoption of low-carbon ammonia fuel in the maritime sector, with an initial focus on US inland waterways transportation. Amogy has also signed a new agreement to explore the potential retrofit of vessels in Skansi’s offshore service supply fleet with its ammonia-to-power technology system.
World Energy GH2 has announced that it has acquired a key piece of infrastructure for the development of Project Nujio’qonik: the Port of Stephenville on Newfoundland’s west coast. On the other side of Newfoundland island, the Port of Argentia and Pattern Energy have agreed to commercial terms for a planned renewable ammonia project adjacent to the port.
