Danish Topsoe to Provide FEED Design for Jordan's $1.6 Billion Green Ammonia Project in Aqaba

en.Wedoany.com Reported - Danish technology company Topsoe has recently signed a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract for a green ammonia project in Jordan, in collaboration with Polish developer Hynfra and the UK's Fidelity Group. Located at the Port of Aqaba in Jordan, the project has a total investment of $1.6 billion and plans to complete the construction of a green ammonia plant with an annual production capacity of 100,000 tons by 2030.

The JGA joint venture project will deploy 700 megawatts of renewable energy facilities to produce hydrogen and convert it into green ammonia for the international market. Topsoe will be responsible for integrating its ammonia synthesis technology to support Jordan's development of the hydrogen energy industry.

Kim Hedegaard, CEO of Topsoe's Power-to-X division, stated, "The FEED agreement helps Jordan solidify its important position in the green ammonia market in the Middle East." The Jordanian government is promoting the construction of a hydrogen hub, along with supporting facilities such as seawater desalination, ammonia storage, and export terminals.

Jordan possesses abundant solar and wind energy resources and aims to increase the share of renewable energy in its total power generation capacity to 31% by 2030. Tomoho Umeda, CEO of Hynfra, pointed out, "The collaboration with Topsoe on the JGA project is a proactive response to global energy trade fluctuations and changes in natural gas prices."

Topsoe recently adjusted its hydrogen business strategy, including a review of scaling up solid oxide electrolyzers and terminating a 100-megawatt supply agreement with First Ammonia. The company's new CEO has indicated that the clean hydrogen industry is currently facing challenges of slowing growth.
