Plug Power and Allied Green Ammonia Partner to Build World's Largest Green Ammonia Facility in Australia
Key Ideas
- Plug Power and AGA have signed an agreement for three gigawatts of electrolyzer capacity for a green hydrogen to ammonia plant in Australia.
- The collaboration aims to build one of the largest green ammonia production facilities globally, producing 2,700 metric tons per day of green ammonia.
- The partnership will leverage renewable energy resources and advanced electrolyzer technology to decarbonize ammonia production, catering to the demands of customers in Asia and Europe.
- AGA will replace conventional SMR techniques with green hydrogen from Plug's electrolyzers, enhancing competitiveness against carbon-intensive counterparts.
Plug Power Inc. and Allied Green Ammonia (AGA) have signed a binding framework agreement to finalize a supply agreement for three gigawatts of electrolyzer capacity to AGA's green hydrogen to ammonia plant in Australia. This agreement follows a recently signed MOU and basic engineering and design package. The partnership is a significant step towards establishing one of the world's largest green ammonia production facilities, with delivery of Plug's electrolyzer system expected by the end of 2026 or early 2027. AGA's facility at Gove Peninsula in Australia aims to produce around 2,700 metric tons per day of green ammonia, utilizing renewable energy resources and a robust energy infrastructure. The collaboration is focused on decarbonizing the ammonia production process by replacing traditional Steam Methane Reforming techniques with green hydrogen from Plug's advanced electrolyzers. By combining technology with AGA's industry experience, the project seeks to enable the production of green hydrogen and ammonia in a cost-effective and sustainable manner, ensuring competitiveness against carbon-intensive counterparts. The strategic location of the facility will allow AGA to meet the increasing demand for green ammonia from customers in Asia and Europe, providing a reliable and eco-friendly supply.
