Topsoe to supply dynamic synthesis technology for First Ammonia’s Victoria, Texas green ammonia project

Key highlights
  • Topsoe will supply its dynamic ammonia synthesis technology for a green ammonia plant in Victoria, Texas.
  • The plant will use green hydrogen produced by electrolysis with renewable electricity to produce ammonia for international and US markets.
  • Financial close is expected later in 2026, with commercial operations anticipated to begin in 2029.
  • Topsoe’s technology enables the ammonia synthesis loop to ramp from 10% to 100% (and vice versa) within thirty minutes to respond to power fluctuations.

Deal

Topsoe will provide its dynamic ammonia synthesis technology for First Ammonia’s green ammonia production facility in Victoria, Texas.

Project and timeline

The facility is designed to produce green ammonia based on hydrogen generated by electrolysis using renewable electricity, targeting both international and US markets. Financial close is expected later in 2026, with commercial operations anticipated to begin in 2029.

Technology

Topsoe’s dynamic ammonia synthesis technology is designed specifically for green ammonia plants and enables production to ramp from 10 percent to 100 percent, or to decrease at a similar rate, within thirty minutes. That capability lets the ammonia synthesis loop respond to fluctuations in power generation while maintaining safe, reliable and efficient operations.

Comments

First Ammonia CEO Joel H. Moser said Topsoe is the world leader in ammonia synthesis and that First Ammonia is delighted to continue the partnership. Topsoe CCO Yassir Ghiyati said operational flexibility becomes increasingly important as green ammonia projects move from ambition to execution and expressed support for the project.
