Oslo/Norway – Scatec has recently signed an agreement with the Acme Group from India to establish a 50/50 joint venture to design, develop, build, own and operate a large-scale green ammonia facility in Oman.
The first phase of the facility is expected to produce 100,000 tons of green ammonia annually with about 300 MW of electrolyzer capacity and powered by 500 MW of solar. The facility will be located in the Duqm Special Economic Zone of Oman. Once fully developed the facility is expected to produce up to 1.2 million tons of green ammonia annually.
“Oman has excellent solar resources and a strategic location for production of green ammonia,” says CEO Raymond Carlsen. There is a growing need to accelerate decarbonization of hard-to-abate industries through Power-to-X solutions such as production of hydrogen, ammonia and other critical feedstocks powered by renewable energy. Industry analysts forecast global annual demand for green ammonia to reach up to 200 million tons by 2050.
