Topsoe, a provider of technology and solutions for the energy transition, has announced its selection as the ammonia technology licensor for Acwa's Yanbu Green Hydrogen project in Saudi Arabia.

The technology delivered by Topsoe will enable the produced green hydrogen from the Yanbu project to be converted into ammonia.

Topsoe will also deliver engineering, proprietary equipment and catalysts to Sinopec and Tecnicas Reunidas, who have jointly been awarded the FEED-contract (Front-End Engineering Design).

Yassir Ghiyati, CCO at Topsoe, said: “We are happy to expand our collaboration with ACWA on their impressive project. Green ammonia plays a critical role in reducing emissions from energy-intensive industries and long-distance transportation. We need to deploy decarbonization solutions on a global scale, and ACWA’s project will be able to deliver a strong contribution.”

Driss Berraho - EVP Business Development Green Hydrogen at ACWA, said: “As one of Saudi Arabia’s leading enablers of the green hydrogen economy, ACWA is developing full-scale, utility-level facilities. Our collaboration with Topsoe at the Yanbu Green Hydrogen Project will convert competitive renewable-energy into green hydrogen-based fuels, including green ammonia, at industrial scale. This development strengthens the hydrogen corridors that will connect competitive renewable resources with global demand centres and contribute to achieving the Kingdom’s Vision 2030 industrial transformation.” -TradeArabia News Service
