ABB Technology for AGA's Green Ammonia Project in Australia
Key Ideas
- AGA and ABB Australia collaborate on a hydrogen-to-ammonia project in Australia, with ABB providing key technology support.
- The project involves developing a scalable electrical micro-grid solution connecting a 4.75 GW solar farm to power a 3 GW hydrogen electrolyzer facility and green ammonia plant.
- AGA's facility is strategically located at Gove Peninsula in the Northern Territory to cater to the growing demand for green ammonia in Asia and Europe.
- U.S. Plug Power has signed an agreement with AGA to supply 3 GW of electrolyzer capacity, marking significant progress in the project's development.
Australian Allied Green Ammonia (AGA) and ABB Australia have signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on AGA’s flagship hydrogen-to-ammonia project. ABB will provide key technology support to enable AGA to make the final investment decision. The collaboration will focus on developing a scalable electrical micro-grid solution connecting a 4.75 GW solar farm to power a 3 GW hydrogen electrolyzer facility and green ammonia plant. The Chairman of AGA expressed delight in incorporating ABB's technology into the project to create a Green Ammonia economy in the Northern Territory. The facility is set to produce approximately 2,700 metric tons per day of green ammonia, strategically located to meet the demand in Asia and Europe. Plug Power's agreement to supply 3 GW of electrolyzer capacity signifies a significant step forward. The project has also engaged with other companies like SPG Steiner for ammonia storage tanks and AFRY for engineering contracts, demonstrating progress and collaboration in Australia's green ammonia initiative.
