On July 12th, Mabanaft, an energy company, applied for approval to construct an ammonia import terminal in Hamburg's Port. The terminal, aimed at bolstering hydrogen supply infrastructure, involves significant construction at the company's Blumensand tank storage site. This initiative includes enabling the import, storage, and processing of ammonia alongside existing facilities, with key measures such as demolishing two large petroleum storage tanks. Mabanaft's Director of New Energy highlighted the goal of contributing to the energy transition by facilitating the availability of innovative energy solutions like ammonia for shipping and hydrogen conversion. The project, announced in November 2022, involves modifying the jetty, demolishing tanks, constructing a new ammonia storage tank, and installing pipelines for ammonia transport. The company conducted various assessments and meetings as part of the permit application process. With an investment totaling in the hundreds of millions, Mabanaft aims to enhance infrastructure for ammonia import and processing by 2027, aligning with its commitment to offering sustainable energy solutions over the long term.
