This includes pre-feasibility and feasibility studies for the first-of-its-kind full-scale production plant, pre-FEED (Front End Engineering Design) and FEED studies for the demonstration plant, and pre-FEED and FEED for the full-scale production plant.
Green ammonia, which can be achieved by combining and reacting green hydrogen and nitrogen at high temperatures and pressures, can potentially reduce global carbon emissions and be used within the transportation, power generation and industrial sectors.
The agreement was signed by Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO, ENOC, and Jun Kobayashi, Executive Officer, General Manager of Solution & Business Development Headquarters of IHI Corporation.
