Topsoe Powers U.S. Green Ammonia Production
- Synergen Green Energy selects Topsoe for U.S. green ammonia plants.
- Plants designed for 210,000 metric tons/year capacity.
- First facility operational by Q4 2028.
- Project aims to cut 400,000 tons of CO₂ emissions annually.
Project Overview
Synergen Green Energy has chosen Topsoe as the technology licensor for its green ammonia plants in the U.S. Topsoe will provide its dynamic ammonia loop technology, proprietary catalysts, and equipment for these standardized plants.
Production Capacity and Environmental Impact
The plants are designed to produce 210,000 metric tons of ammonia annually. This production will avoid approximately 400,000 tons of CO₂ emissions, equivalent to removing around 95,000 gasoline-powered cars from the road for a year.
Timeline
Subject to a final investment decision, the first facility is expected to be operational by the fourth quarter of 2028.
Technology Details
Topsoe's dynamic ammonia technology adapts production output in response to fluctuating renewable electricity supply. This allows for bidirectional ramping of ammonia production at a rate of at least 3% per minute, reducing the need for hydrogen storage systems and enabling renewable electricity to be stored as a zero-carbon chemical.
