MAIRE SpA, Milan, Italy, announced on Jan. 17 that its subsidiary Tecnimont has been awarded a Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) contract by Fortescue for a green ammonia plant to be located in the Nordgulen fjord in Norway.
The scope of work entails the design of electrolyzer integration, the air separation unit for nitrogen production, the ammonia production plant, as well as its storage and ship loading facilities. As part of the agreement, Tecnimont will also submit an Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) proposal for the realization of the plant.
The facility will produce green ammonia through electrolyzers that will use renewable hydropower for the hydrogen production. The plant aims to ship the resulting green ammonia to domestic and European markets.
