Sungrow Hydrogen to Supply Equipment for ACME Group's Green Ammonia Project in Oman
Key Ideas
- Sungrow Hydrogen to provide water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment for ACME Group's 320 MW green ammonia project in Oman.
- ACME Group aims to produce 300 mt/day of green ammonia from the plant, with production set to begin in 2026.
- Green ammonia, produced using renewable energy, is seen as a promising alternative marine fuel for decarbonisation, with near-zero carbon emissions during combustion.
- The shipping industry is looking to green ammonia to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, with engine manufacturers like MAN Energy Solutions developing ammonia engines for use.
Chinese renewable technology firm Sungrow Hydrogen has entered an agreement to supply water electrolysis hydrogen production equipment for ACME Group's 320 MW green ammonia project in Oman. The deal includes multiple sets of 1000Nm³/h ALK hydrogen production equipment and green hydrogen production solutions. ACME Group's goal is to initially produce 300 metric tons per day of green ammonia from the plant, scheduled to commence operations in 2026. Green ammonia, generated from renewable sources, is emerging as a viable alternative marine fuel to aid decarbonisation efforts. Its combustion process results in nearly zero carbon emissions, positioning it as a crucial option for reducing the shipping sector's carbon footprint and supporting the industry's target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Leading ship engine manufacturers like MAN Energy Solutions are actively developing ammonia engines, with testing in progress and commercial applications anticipated in the near future. Sungrow Hydrogen plans to deliver all necessary equipment for the green ammonia project by the end of the year, further advancing sustainable practices in the maritime industry.
