MOPCO and thyssenkrupp Uhde Collaborate for Sustainable Ammonia and Urea Production in Egypt
Key Ideas
- MOPCO partners with thyssenkrupp Uhde to enhance sustainability by implementing a carbon capture and usage solution, removing 145,000 tons of CO2 annually.
- thyssenkrupp Uhde to boost ammonia production capacity by 10% and lower natural gas consumption through the installation of state-of-the-art ammonia converter cartridges.
- MOPCO will integrate green hydrogen from water electrolysis units to produce up to 150,000 tons of green ammonia yearly, reinforcing their commitment to sustainability.
- The collaboration aims to revamp existing facilities, increase production capacity, and ensure greener and more efficient fertilizer production with comprehensive support from thyssenkrupp Uhde.
MOPCO, in partnership with thyssenkrupp Uhde, is embarking on a sustainability-focused collaboration to upgrade three ammonia and urea plants in Damietta, Egypt. The initiative includes the implementation of an innovative carbon capture and usage (CCU) solution that will remove 145,000 tons of CO2 annually from ammonia production and redirect it into urea production. thyssenkrupp Uhde will enhance efficiency by installing state-of-the-art ammonia converter cartridges to increase production capacity by 10% and reduce natural gas consumption. Additionally, MOPCO will utilize green hydrogen feedstock to produce up to 150,000 tons of green ammonia per year, demonstrating their commitment to sustainable practices. The collaboration seeks to revamp existing facilities built between 2006 and 2015, leveraging high-performance catalysts and comprehensive support from thyssenkrupp Uhde to ensure seamless integration and startup. This milestone project signifies MOPCO's dedication to sustainable and efficient fertilizer production, positioning them as leaders in climate-friendly urea and green ammonia within the MENA region.
