Japan’s Toyo Engineering Corp. will start a feasibility study for green ammonia production in Indonesia in collaboration with state-owned Pupuk Indonesia Holding Co. (PIHC) and Pupuk Iskandar Muda (PIM), a subsidiary of PIHC.
Toyo will study the feasibility for green ammonia production at the existing fertilizer plants owned and operated by PIM, according to a statement by the Japanese firm. Toyo built PIM’s existing ammonia plant and aims to modify the facility to produce green ammonia synthesized from hydrogen produced by renewable energy sources.
The scope of the feasibility study also includes the future decarbonization of PIHC’s other fertilizer plants.
Toyo was awarded the contract by Japan’s Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry. Neither the timeline nor the value of the contract has been disclosed.
