We have another update on the Jordan Green Ammonia plant: Jordan Green Ammonia (JGA) — a JV formed between Poland-based Hynfra and Jordan-based Fidelity Group — has signed land use agreements with the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) and Aqaba Development Corporation to establish its USD 1.6 bn green ammonia production facility in Jordan, according to a statement released on Thursday.
What’s next? Under the terms of this agreement, JGA will have all the necessary permissions to conduct feasibility studies within ASEZA and move forward with the project’s implementation phase, the statement notes. The project will begin with a site assessment then move on to construction operational launch which is pegged for completion within five years. The project aims to produce between 100k and 300k tons of green ammonia annually.
REMEMBER- Project studies were recently completed: Jordan’s Energy and Mineral Resources Ministry received the technical and economic studies for establishing a USD 1.6 bn green ammonia and hydrogen production plant in Aqaba back in May.
And Jordan has export plans in mind: The company is looking to export surplus from the planned facility to EU markets. The project is set to be powered by 530 MW capacity from solar, and include an energy storage facility, and a seawater desalination plant.
