A planned ammonia project in Morocco’s Laayoune region is targeting shipping and other export markets with expected production of around 560,000 tonnes/year.
The project, being developed by ORNX environmentally friendly Hydrogen, will consumption about 900 MW of electrolyser capacity to create hydrogen and ammonia from renewable power, KBR said in a press emit last Wednesday.
Engineering firm KBR has been appointed to provide ammonia methodology licensing and pre-FEED services to the project, with funding support from the US Trade and research Agency.
The research will combine power generation, hydrogen production and ammonia synthesis, with access to port infrastructure supporting exports.
The pre-FEED study will be carried out by KBR with GE Vernova, Electric Hydrogen and Terabase.
The project is expected to supply low-carbon ammonia to the fertilizer, maritime and manufacturing sectors.
With ammonia engines now becoming commercially available and shipowners beginning to order vessels, the sector is gradually moving to embrace the fuel.
However, significant work remains to develop bunkering infrastructure, as ammonia is toxic and requires stringent security precautions.
