German technology provider thyssenkrupp Uhde and Idesa Industrial Plants SLU (IDIP) announced on April 4 that they have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to cooperate on developing and fabricating modules for green ammonia projects.
The agreement, which was signed in Essen, Germany, on March 23, will focus on the development of a joint project for the design, procurement, fabrication, and construction of modularized green ammonia plants, suitable for integration with green hydrogen production units.
“We at thyssenkrupp Uhde are committed to the success of the green transformation on a large scale,” said Liege Robson, COO of thyssenkrupp Uhde. “The construction of numerous green ammonia plants is the key to a successful energy transition. By working together with IDIP on the modularization of these plants, we can decisively shorten the construction time of these plants and thus accelerate the global energy transition.”
Under the agreement, the companies will work together to develop modularized green ammonia plants based on proven uhde® ammonia technology, which has already been applied in more than 130 large-scale chemical plants across the world, and IDIP’s expertise in the fabrication of skids and modules.
“IDIP is committed to the concept of decarbonization, which implies reliance on new sustainable technologies and raw materials to reduce carbon emissions,” said IDIP Chairman Jesús Alonso. “In this context, green ammonia obtained from renewable energy sources is a key element in achieving this goal. Together with thyssenkrupp Uhde as a technology partner, we at IDIP will pursue our sustainable targets and work on modular plant technologies for the supply of green ammonia to decarbonize the energy and industry sector.”
