- Pre‑FEED contracts awarded for two 400,000 tpa green ammonia plants at the Ports of Pecém and Açu in Brazil.
- Both plants are designed to run entirely on renewable energy and target 400 ktpa ammonia each.
- Engineering scope uses uhde® ammonia synthesis technology and RHAMFS® concept‑optimisation methodology.
- thyssenkrupp Uhde will provide integration engineering across electrolysis, balance of plant and ammonia offloading to mature the business case and commercial milestones.
Contract scope
thyssenkrupp Uhde has been awarded pre‑FEED contracts by Fuella AS for two large‑scale green ammonia projects: the Pecém Green Ammonia Project (PeGA) and the Açu Green Ammonia Project (AçuGA).
