Plug and Allied Green execute binding framework agreement for 3 GW electrolyzer capacity for green ammonia production
08 October 2024
Plug Power signed a binding framework agreement with Allied Green Ammonia (AGA), an Australian company focused on green ammonia production, to finalize a supply agreement for three gigawatts (GW) of electrolyzer capacity to AGA’s green hydrogen to ammonia plant in Australia.
The framework agreement follows the recently signed MOU and basic engineering and design package (BEDP). Both parties will now move into finalizing the sales and purchase agreement. The partnership between Plug and AGA marks a major step toward building one of the world’s largest green ammonia production facilities, with the delivery of Plug’s electrolyzer system expected for the end of the year in 2026/early 2027.
AGA is in the process of developing one of the most globally significant green ammonia production facilities, designed to produce approximately 2,700 metric tons per day (TPD) of green ammonia, leveraging abundant renewable energy resources and a robust energy infrastructure.
Strategically located at Gove Peninsula in the Northern Territory of Australia, the facility is positioned to cater to the growing demand from AGA’s customers in Asia and Europe, ensuring a reliable and secure supply of green ammonia.
Accordingly, this collaboration aims to decarbonize the typical ammonia production process significantly by replacing conventional Steam Methane Reforming (SMR) techniques with green hydrogen generated through Plug’s advanced electrolyzers. Combining this technology with AGA’s industry experience and technical expertise will enable AGA to produce green hydrogen and ammonia competitively when compared against its conventionally produced non-sustainable and carbon intensive counterparts.
Now ammonia gets its hydrogen by cracking NG they just release the CO2 into the air this has got to stop
