Topsoe Supports Saudi Arabia's Green Ammonia Project
Key highlights
- Final investment decision for the Yanbu Green Hydrogen Project is expected in 2026.
- The green ammonia plant aims to start operations in 2030.
- Topsoe's technology will help avoid 1.7 million tons of CO2 emissions annually.
- The plant will have a capacity of 2,700 metric tons per day.
Project Overview
Topsoe has been selected as the ammonia technology licensor for ACWA's Yanbu Green Hydrogen Project in Saudi Arabia. The project aims to produce green ammonia by converting green hydrogen using Topsoe's technology.
Timeline and Capacity
The final investment decision is expected in 2026, with the plant anticipated to begin operations in 2030. The facility will have a capacity of 2,700 metric tons per day.
Environmental Impact
Once fully operational, the plant is expected to avoid approximately 1.7 million tons of CO2 emissions annually, compared to ammonia production from natural gas.
Technological Advancements
Topsoe's dynamic ammonia technology will allow the plant to adjust production in response to fluctuating renewable electricity supply, reducing the need for hydrogen storage systems.
