- The project will produce and distribute up to 100,000 tons of green ammonia per year starting in 2026.
- The agreement involves a total investment of 750 million euros.
- The construction of the plant will generate up to 3,500 jobs.
- The plant will be supported by 500 MW of new renewable energy.
Project Overview
The project aims to kickstart the European green hydrogen corridor by producing and distributing up to 100,000 tons of green ammonia per year starting in 2026. This positions the involved companies as first movers in the green ammonia market.
Investment and Construction
The agreement facilitates the construction of Europe's first industrial green ammonia plant with an investment of 750 million euros. The plant will generate up to 3,500 jobs during construction and more than 50 jobs during its operations and maintenance phase.
Renewable Energy Support
The green ammonia plant will be supported by the construction of 500 MW of new renewable energy, ensuring it meets all the requirements of the EU’s Delegated Act. This will contribute to the creation of industrial and innovation opportunities in a growing market with a high export component.
Decarbonization Goals
The green ammonia produced will be purchased and sold to contribute to the decarbonization of northern European industry. The project aims to supply competitive green energy to decarbonize energy-intensive heavy industries across Europe, including in the Netherlands, Germany, and France.
Future Prospects
Green ammonia can be used in existing applications like fertilizer production and chemical industries, with expected market growth in new uses such as marine fuel and green hydrogen transport. The project is part of a broader strategy to develop a more sustainable production chain and achieve decarbonization goals.
