Germany Awards Tender to Import Green Ammonia for Green Hydrogen Production
Key Ideas
  • Germany awards tender to UAE-based Fertiglobe for at least 259,000 metric tons of green ammonia between 2027 and 2033.
  • The green ammonia will be used to produce green hydrogen, aimed at cutting emissions from hard-to-electrify sectors like steel and chemicals.
  • Import of green hydrogen products is seen as a significant step in Germany's hydrogen market development, with plans to import 50-70% of its green hydrogen due to limited renewable resources.
  • The auction established a contract price of 1,000 euros per ton, contributing to the goal of boosting investments in green hydrogen production.
Germany has awarded a tender to UAE-based Fertiglobe to purchase at least 259,000 metric tons of green ammonia between 2027 and 2033. This is part of Germany's efforts to expand the use of green hydrogen fuel, made from water using solar or wind power, to reduce emissions from sectors that are challenging to electrify. The green ammonia will be used to produce green hydrogen, with plans to import around 50-70% of Germany's green hydrogen due to limited renewable energy resources. The tender, conducted under the H2Global programme, attracted bids from over 65 countries, indicating global interest. The initial contract price established for green ammonia is 1,000 euros per ton, with potential for more competitive prices in the future. The auction represents a significant step in Germany's hydrogen market development, with additional rounds of green hydrogen import contracts planned, including funding co-financed with the Netherlands.
