OCI Global has agreed to offtake green hydrogen from New Fortress Energy’s ZeroParks beginning in 2025, according to a news release.
The agreement will allow OCI Global to scale up green ammonia production to approximately 160,000 mtpy in Beaumont, Texas.
This agreement follows a 100 MW electrolyzer system order from Electric Hydrogen. NFE’s first green hydrogen project, ZeroPark I, will come online in two phases; the first phase in 2025, allowing OCI to produce approximately 80,000 mtpy of green ammonia and the second, in 2026, doubling OCI’s production capacity to 160,000 mtpy.
OCI produced its first hydrogen-based green ammonia earlier this year at its Egypt Green facility, which is owned by Fertiglobe, a strategic partnership with ADNOC.
The plans complement OCI’s large-scale blue ammonia project in Texas in partnership with Linde, which is scheduled to begin production in 2025. The new ammonia site has been developed so it can use green hydrogen as a feedstock in the future.
