ABB Partnership Accelerates Green Hydrogen-to-Ammonia Facility in Northern Territory
Key Ideas
  • Allied Green Ammonia (AGA) partners with ABB to advance a green hydrogen-to-ammonia facility in Northern Territory, integrating 4.75 GW of solar power and 1.6 GWh per day battery energy storage.
  • AGA aims to produce 172,500 tonnes of green hydrogen annually to generate 958,500 tonnes of green ammonia, with commercial operations set to start in Q1 2029.
  • ABB will provide engineering support for a scalable electrical micro-grid solution to power the solar farm, hydrogen electrolyser facility, and green ammonia plant.
  • Additional agreements include a partnership with Plug Power for 3 GW of electrolysers and an offtake agreement with Trammo for the purchase of renewable ammonia produced at the facility.
Allied Green Ammonia (AGA) has announced a significant partnership with ABB, a Swiss-Swedish electrical equipment producer, to accelerate the development of its green hydrogen-to-ammonia production facility in the Northern Territory of Australia. The collaboration entails ABB supporting AGA in the engineering and design aspects of the large-scale facility, which is set to incorporate 4.75 GW of solar power and a substantial 1.6 GWh per day battery energy storage system. This initiative aims to power 3 GW of hydrogen electrolyser capacity, with the plant located near Nhulunbuy on the Gove Peninsula. The project's goal is to produce around 172,500 tonnes of green hydrogen annually, enabling the generation of 958,500 tonnes a year of green ammonia. Commercial operations are projected to commence in the first quarter of 2029. AGA, headquartered in Perth, will be responsible for owning and operating the facility, with ABB's focus on developing a scalable electrical micro-grid solution that includes DC and AC switchgear and digital solutions to connect the solar farm and power the electrolyser and ammonia plant. In addition to the ABB partnership, AGA has finalized agreements with Plug Power for the supply of 3 GW of electrolysers and an offtake deal with Trammo, a US-based chemical company, to purchase renewable ammonia from the facility. Trammo intends to distribute this ammonia worldwide to serve its customers, emphasizing sustainability and green energy practices in the industrial and fertilizer sectors.
