Topsoe Supports Saudi Arabia's Green Ammonia Project
- The Yanbu Green Hydrogen Project in Saudi Arabia will use Topsoe's technology to produce green ammonia.
- The final investment decision is expected in 2026, with operations starting in 2030.
- The plant aims to avoid 1.7 million tons of CO2 emissions annually compared to natural gas-based ammonia.
- The project 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 for the project is expected in 2026, with operations anticipated to begin in 2030. The plant 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 and enabling renewable electricity to be stored as a zero-carbon chemical.
