VNG, a Leipzig-based gas company, intends to procure as much as 200,000 mt/y of green ammonia from Aker Horizons’ large-scale green industrial hub under development in Narvik, Norway, as of 2028, according to a Bloomberg report. The ammonia will be shipped from Narvik to terminals in Germany, where VNG will distribute it further as ammonia or hydrogen to its customers, who will use it to decarbonize their operations.
The ammonia production capacity at Narvik is estimated to be 1,000-1500 mt/d by 2028. The Letter of Intent is a first step toward a firm supply agreement between the parties and could be expanded to further areas of collaboration.
In January, Norway and Germany reaffirmed their joint intention to ensure large-scale supply of hydrogen by 2030 and to establish the necessary infrastructure from Norway to Germany.
