AFRY to Engineer Australia Green Ammonia Project
10.03.2024 By Tank Terminals - NEWS

October 03, 2024 [Gas World]- Allied Green Ammonia (AGA) has awarded AFRY the Owner’s Engineering assignment for its flagship green ammonia project in the Northern Territory, Australia.

 

AFRY’s role covers the design of a reliable and self-sustaining renewable power and distribution system to supply electricity to AGA’s green ammonia production facility.

By using a 100% renewable energy in the production process, AGA’s green ammonia project is envisioned to play a central role in the decarbonisation of hard-to-electrify sectors of the economy, such as long-haul trucking, aviation, shipping and heavy industry.

The renewable power plant will consist of an estimated 4.75 gigawatt (GW) of solar power, combined with battery energy storage, and will power 3 GW of hydrogen electrolyser capacity.

The project will produce almost one million tonnes of green ammonia annually, equivalent to a displacement of 1.8 million tonnes of global carbon emissions annually.

AFRY’s engineering services cover the review of the basic engineering design of the solar farm, its electrical systems and the integration of the Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).

The solar farm will generate low-cost renewable energy, while the BESS provides higher utilisation of the hydrogen and ammonia production plant by shifting some of the renewable energy generated during daylight hours to the evening and morning.

Alfred Benedict, AGA’s Managing Director, said, “AFRY has been selected due to its extensive engineering capabilities and experience in developing large-scale renewable energy projects within the Asia Pacific region and Australia, with specific expertise in the renewable energy plant design.”

Petteri Härkki, AFRY’s Regional Director, said, “With AFRY’s extensive track record spanning over 500 solar power projects, 140 battery storage projects and more than 200 assignments in green hydrogen and ammonia projects, we are confident in our ability to add value to projects like this.”
