AFRY Engaged in Australia's Green Ammonia Project
Key Ideas
- AFRY has been awarded the owner's engineering assignment for AGA's green ammonia project in Australia, aiming to decarbonize hard-to-electrify sectors.
- The project includes a renewable power plant with 4.75 GW of solar power, 3 GW of hydrogen electrolyser capacity, and battery energy storage.
- AGA's green ammonia project is set to produce almost one million tonnes of green ammonia annually, contributing to displacing 1.8 million tonnes of global carbon emissions.
- AGA has also contracted SPG Steiner for the supply of large-scale ammonia storage tanks to store the green ammonia produced and shipped to its offtake partner.
Allied Green Ammonia (AGA) has selected AFRY for the owner's engineering assignment of its green ammonia project in the Northern Territory, Australia. This project aims to revolutionize ammonia production by utilizing 100% renewable energy, thereby reducing significant carbon emissions associated with conventional production methods. The renewable power plant will comprise 4.75 GW solar power, 3 GW hydrogen electrolyser capacity, and battery energy storage, enabling the production of almost one million tonnes of green ammonia annually. AFRY's engineering role involves designing a self-sustaining power and distribution system for AGA's facility, emphasizing the importance of decarbonizing sectors like long-haul trucking, aviation, and heavy industry. AGA's partnership with SPG Steiner for large-scale ammonia storage tanks further solidifies its commitment to sustainable practices and green fuel export capacity. This project signifies a crucial step in Australia's transition towards lower-carbon fuels and showcases the potential of innovative engineering solutions in driving sustainable energy production.
