Harnessing Waves for Green Ammonia: A Step Towards Sustainable Offshore Energy
Key Ideas
  • SwitcH2 and CorPower Ocean collaborate to develop an industrial-scale floating green ammonia production facility powered by a mix of wind, solar, and wave energy.
  • The project aims to produce up to 300,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually, with production set to begin in 2029, contributing to the decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors like global shipping.
  • Supported by Dutch government funding, the project will also explore exporting green ammonia and hydrogen to Northwestern Europe, enhancing the region's energy transition.
  • CorPower Ocean emphasizes the potential of wave energy as a consistent and renewable source, enabling stable clean energy supply for industrial processes, marking a significant step towards a sustainable future.
Renewable energy company SwitcH2 has partnered with Swedish company CorPower Ocean to develop an industrial-scale floating green ammonia production facility partially powered by wave energy. The project, supported by Norway-based BW Offshore and Dutch Oceans Capital, combines wind, solar, and wave power to drive electrolysis for green ammonia production in offshore environments. The facility, set to feature a 300 MW electrolysis plant on a vessel, aims to produce 300,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually, with operations expected to start in 2029. The collaboration received grant funding from the Dutch Government to launch a project in northern Portugal, utilizing CorPower Ocean's wave energy technology. SwitcH2 also plans projects in West Africa and the Dutch North Sea to export green ammonia and hydrogen to Northwestern Europe. CorPower Ocean highlights wave energy as a significant untapped resource, ensuring stable renewable energy supply for industrial processes. The partnership signifies a stride towards a cleaner, brighter future powered by renewables, contributing to the global energy transition.
