Worley to Lead FEED Work on Morocco's Mega Green Ammonia Project
Key Ideas
  • Worley, an Australian engineering services company, will initiate FEED work on the Tarfaya green ammonia project in Morocco in Q3 2024.
  • The project, led by OCP Group, aims to produce one million tonnes of green ammonia annually with plans to scale up to three million tonnes by 2032.
  • The initiative includes a 2.8GW wind farm, 1 GW solar PV power plant, and 2.7GWh of battery storage, all powered by renewable energy sources.
  • In addition to the green ammonia project, a separate Jorf Hydrogen Project is underway, expected to deliver 100,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year by 2026.
Worley, the Australia-headquartered global engineering services company, is set to begin Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) work on a significant green ammonia project in Morocco. The project, located in Tarfaya and led by the OCP Group, will involve a substantial investment of $7 billion in an ammonia plant that utilizes green hydrogen. The initiative is part of OCP Group's green growth program, aiming for full carbon neutrality by 2040. The Tarfaya project is designed to be the world's first Power-to-X green ammonia program, incorporating various facilities like transmission grids, hydrogen and ammonia plants, and storage sites. The project will accommodate a large workforce, eventually evolving into a city for workers and their families, all powered by wind and solar energy. With plans for operations to commence in 2027, the project has the potential to produce one million tonnes of green ammonia annually, with an anticipated increase to three million tonnes by 2032. The energy requirements for the project will be met through a 2.8GW wind farm, a 1 GW solar PV power plant, and 2.7GWh of battery storage, covering vast areas of land. Moreover, Worley and OCP Group are also collaborating on the Jorf Hydrogen Project (JH2P), an industrial-scale facility to produce green ammonia. Expected to be completed by 2026, this project is located adjacent to existing JESA facilities and aims to deliver 100,000 tonnes of green ammonia yearly. The entire initiative underscores a commitment to sustainability, renewable energy, and technological advancements in the production of ammonia.
