Hive Energy has reaffirmed its plans for a massive R105-billion green ammonia plant in Coega, South Africa, announced during a manufacturing showcase in Gqeberha. The plant, set to be one of the world's largest, will produce over a million tons of green ammonia annually for export to the Far East and Europe. Powered by a 3,700MW renewable energy supply from wind and solar sources, the project aims to create 20,000 direct and indirect jobs in Nelson Mandela Bay. The investment presents a significant opportunity for green industrial development and economic diversification, with plans for downstream industries and a large-scale PV farm for environmental best practices. A think-tank has been initiated to drive local economic reinvention, focusing on hydrogen-related equipment manufacturing and transitioning towards 'altermotive' mobility to stay competitive.
