Uniper and SKW Piesteritz have signed an agreement to support each other in the supply, production and logistics of ammonia and hydrogen derivatives, according to a news release.
Among other things, the agreement calls for SKW Piesteritz, the largest producer of ammonia and urea in Germany, to supply Uniper with sustainably produced ammonia, with SKW Piesteritz supplying green or blue ammonia in the medium to long term.
The two companies will also collaborate closely on imports. The use of Uniper’s import terminal in Wilhelmshaven, for example, will make it easier for SKW Piesteritz to import green ammonia. SKW Piesteritz in turn will provide Uniper with capacities in other European ports via its parent company AGROFERT. The agreement also covers the necessary distribution logistics, the expansion of production capacities and the conversion of ammonia into hydrogen.
This collaboration combines Uniper’s strength in the global procurement of low-carbon and carbon-neutral ammonia, which also includes the expansion of the Wilhelmshaven site into a landing terminal and energy hub, with SKW Piesteritz’s expertise in the production of sustainable ammonia, its distribution logistics and landing capacities in Europe.
