Haldor Topsoe and Aquamarine enter into a Memorandum of Understanding to build a green ammonia facility based on solid oxide electrolyzer cells (SOEC). Aquamarine is developing a large-scale green ammonia facility to be constructed in multiple stages. In the first stage, the proposed facility will use Topsoe’s proprietary SOEC to produce green hydrogen from 100 megawatt of renewable electricity. The hydrogen will be further processed into 300 ton/day of green ammonia, also using Topsoe technology. The produced ammonia can reportedly be used as a green marine fuel or as fertilizer. Aquamarine will develop the project and seek relevant permits for the project, which will be located in northern Germany close to existing offshore wind farms, where the product can be sold to the marine shipping industry.
Topsoe says it is already engaged in several projects to produce green hydrogen, green ammonia, eMethanol and green fuels, including the Helios project in NEOM, Saudi Arabia, announced in July 2020, which reportedly includes the world’s largest ammonia loop (1.2 million tons per year).
