  • Supported by the Dutch government and DNV approval, the project anticipates green ammonia production by 2029, fueling multiple oceangoing vessels sustainably.
  • The partnership showcases complementary skills and expertise, emphasizing the strategic positioning in the renewable energy space to achieve a successful FID on their first project soon.
Renewable energy company SwitcH2 has partnered with JORD Group, a chemical engineering and construction company, to advance the design of its 300 MW offshore floating ammonia project in Portugal. Joining other investors, JORD will contribute to the final design phase of SwitcH2's innovative flagship project, utilizing floating production, storage, and offloading (FPSO) technology. The project, based on Ohmium's proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolyzer solution, ThyssenKrupp's ammonia synthesis, and ABB's electrical and control systems, aims to produce green ammonia using nearshore solar, wind, and wave energy. Once operational, the facility is expected to have significant annual production capacities of green hydrogen and green ammonia, supporting sustainable fueling of oceangoing vessels. With support from the Dutch government and approval from the classification society DNV, the project targets green ammonia production by 2029. SwitcH2's Managing Director expressed excitement about the partnership, highlighting the shared mission for a successful FID on their first project soon, leveraging the diverse expertise and strategic alignment in the renewable energy sector.
