Topsoe signs first Australian green ammonia contract with Allied Green Ammonia
The produced green ammonia is intended to be exported from Gove to the expanding South East Asian markets where demand for e-fuels continues to grow.
Production is planned to start in 2028 - targeting a capacity of 2,500 metric tonnes.
Topsoe is also in discussions with Allied to supply an undisclosed quantity of its SOEC to produce green hydrogen.
The potential supply and integration of Topsoe’s SOEC technology for production of green hydrogen – in combination with the dynamic ammonia technology – will further increase the energy efficiency of Allied’s ammonia production.
Kim Hedegaard, CEO Power-to-X, at Topsoe, said: “We are excited to embark on this journey with Allied and to support the growing demand for e-fuels production in Australia. Allied’s project is completely in line with our ambition to deliver carbon reduction technologies for reaching net zero. Our dynamic green ammonia solution supports this by enabling the production of e-fuels for energy-intensive industries and long-distance transportation.”
Alfred Benedict, founder and managing director of Allied, said: “We are confident that the geographical location and existing infrastructure in Gove in combination with the most energy efficient hydrogen and green ammonia technology will lead to the lowest levelized cost of green ammonia production in Australia. We are delighted to receive strong endorsement from the local Gumatj Corporation and the Northern Territory government, both of whom eagerly support the development of our green ammonia project in Gove."
