- The project will use up to 500 MW of electrolysis capacity to produce 1,200 MTPD of green ammonia.
- The plant will be located in the industrial zone of Sines, Portugal.
- The final notice to proceed is expected by 22 March 2024.
- Green ammonia will be transported to the Port of Sines for export or maritime fuel use.
Project Overview
Tecnimont has been awarded a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract by MadoquaPower2X to develop an integrated green hydrogen and green ammonia plant in Sines, Portugal. The consortium behind MadoquaPower2X includes Madoqua Renewables, Power2X, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP).
Technological Details
The project will produce green hydrogen using alkaline-water electrolyzer technology and green ammonia through the Haber-Bosch process. The green ammonia will be transported via pipeline to the Port of Sines for export or use as maritime fuel.
Scope of Work
Tecnimont’s responsibilities include designing the integration of electrolyzers, an air separation unit for nitrogen production, an ammonia production plant, and storage and ship loading facilities. Additionally, Tecnimont will submit an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) proposal for the plant's construction.
Timeline and Capacity
The final notice to proceed is expected by 22 March 2024. The facility will use up to 500 MW of electrolysis capacity to produce up to 1,200 metric tons per day (MTPD) of green ammonia. It will be the first industrial-scale clean energy production facility in Sines, the largest industrial and logistic hub in the Iberian Peninsula.
Renewable Energy Source
The project will utilize renewable energy generated from solar and wind assets under development in Portugal. This initiative aims to establish an export energy carrier value chain between the Port of Sines and the Northwestern European Hub.
