en.Wedoany.com Reported - US clean energy developer First Ammonia is adjusting the technical pathway for its 200 MW ammonia production project in Texas, shifting from solid oxide electrolysis (SOEC) technology to pressurized alkaline or proton exchange membrane (PEM) electrolysis systems following the exit of its partner Topsoe.

In an interview with H2 View, CEO Joel Moser stated that First Ammonia has initiated a Request for Proposal process and is in discussions with six shortlisted original equipment manufacturers, aiming to make a final investment decision within this year. Moser noted, "Since Topsoe's announcement, through our own efforts, we have a qualified shortlist. We requested responses within a short timeframe."

Located in Texas, USA, the project aims to produce green ammonia using electrolysis technology as a low-carbon energy carrier. The adjustment in the technical route reflects First Ammonia's considerations regarding project feasibility and timeline to ensure competitiveness in the fiercely competitive green hydrogen and ammonia market.

Alkaline electrolysis and PEM electrolysis are currently mainstream technologies in green hydrogen production, boasting high maturity and scalability. This shift by First Ammonia may impact the project's schedule and cost structure, but the company stated it will accelerate decision-making to advance the project.

Texas has become a hotspot for clean energy investment in the US in recent years, benefiting from abundant renewable energy resources and policy support. If successfully advanced, First Ammonia's 200 MW project will help increase the region's green ammonia production capacity, supporting industrial decarbonization and energy transition goals.
