Tecnimont (Integrated E&C Solutions) has received a notice from Fertiglobe to commence construction activities for the low-carbon ammonia plant at TA’ZIZ Derivatives Park, located in the Ruwais region of Abu Dhabi, UAE.
Fertiglobe, the largest nitrogen fertilizer producer in the MENA region, is developing the low carbon ammonia plant with its project partners TA’ZIZ (a JV between ADNOC and Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund ADQ), Mitsui & Co. Ltd and GS Energy Corporation.
Once in operation in 2027, the ammonia facility, covering 10.8 ha., will produce 3000 tpd (approximately 1 million tpy) of ammonia. The plant will be one of a series of global-scale chemical and industrial facilities that TA’ZIZ is developing in the area which will boost local industry supply chains and enhance the in-country value requirements.
As a transition fuel, low-carbon ammonia plays a strategic role in decarbonising the maritime industry, as well as having several additional energy applications including co-firing in the coal power stations to reduce the carbon footprint.
Alessandro Bernini, MAIRE Group CEO, commented: “We are extremely pleased of being confirmed preferred partner for the ambitious development projects in the region. The low-carbon ammonia represents a step forward the decarbonization plans of the UAE and our technological know-how and engineering capabilities will contribute to accelerate the energy transition in the Gulf.”
