Indian solar power producer ACME Group, Gurugram, Haryana, on March 23 announced that it has signed a pact with the Oman Co. for the Development of the Special Economic Zone at Duqm (Tatweer) to build a US$2.5 billion green hydrogen and ammonia project in Duqm in Oman. The players are looking at a facility that could produce 2,200 mt/d of green ammonia, which could serve international markets, notably Europe, America, and Asia.
The partners said Oman was selected due to its strategic location, support from governmental bodies, and the high solar irradiation in the country.
ACME currently has a green hydrogen and ammonia pilot plant under construction in Rajasthan, India.
