Fertiglobe's Clean Hydrogen and Ammonia Expansion Projects in the US, Egypt, and UAE
Key Ideas
- Fertiglobe, the MENA region's largest nitrogen fertiliser producer, plans clean hydrogen and ammonia projects in the US, Egypt, and UAE by 2025.
- The US project in Baytown, Texas, with ADNOC-ExxonMobil partnership, targets 1 billion cubic feet of low-carbon hydrogen daily and 1 million tonnes of low-carbon ammonia annually.
- The Egypt Green Hydrogen project involves a 100 MW electrolyser facility and renewable ammonia production, with operations set to start in 2027.
- In the UAE, a 1-mtpa low-carbon ammonia project has begun construction, aiming for 50% lower-carbon intensity in phase 1 and further reductions through CO2 capture in phase 2.
Abu Dhabi-based Fertiglobe, a major nitrogen fertiliser producer, is set to make significant investments in clean hydrogen and ammonia projects across different countries. In the US, the company plans to finalize the investment decision on a low-carbon hydrogen and ammonia project in Baytown, Texas, in 2025. This project, a collaboration between ADNOC and ExxonMobil, aims to produce 1 billion cubic feet of low-carbon hydrogen and 1 million tonnes of low-carbon ammonia annually. Fertiglobe's Egypt Green Hydrogen project, with a 100 MW electrolyser facility, is expected to reach the investment decision stage in early 2025, focusing on renewable hydrogen production for ammonia in Egypt. Additionally, construction has already begun on a 1-mtpa low-carbon ammonia project in the UAE, targeting a 50% reduction in carbon intensity compared to conventional ammonia. Fertiglobe's proactive approach includes capacity expansions and carbon intensity reductions to enhance sustainability in their operations.
