H2Carrier, Anori to Develop ‘Wind Energy to Green Ammonia’ Project in Greenland

A letter of Intent has been signed between Norway-based floating energy production and storage maker H2Carrier and Greenland-based Anori for the construction of the first commercial wind farm in Greenland and the use of green energy subsequently for the production of green ammonia. The end product will also be exported to international markets, as per the deal.

H2Carrier said that the capacity of the wind farm will be about 1.5 GW. The facility will supply clean power to the floating vessel developed by H2Carrier for hydrogen and green ammonia production. H2Carrier said that green ammonia will be stored in tanks built over the floating vessel. It will then be transferred to small shipping vessels that will take the green product to important markets around the world.

The floating piece of technology 

The proprietary P2XFloater by H2Carrier can produce, store and export green hydrogen and green ammonia on a large industrial scale for the international market. H2Carrier calls it as the first of its kind.

H2Carrier said that P2XFloater has been developed with support from multiple Norwegian engineering firms by incorporating existing technologies related with floating production of oil and gas and strong control systems. The amalgamation of technologies helped in proper utilisation of renewable power, electrolyzers and the Haber-Bosch-process to produce green hydrogen and green ammonia.

H2Carrier aims at building, owning, leasing and operating P2XFloaters globally. Mårten Lunde, CEO, H2Carrier, said, “By building on established and proven technologies with a strong safety track record from oil and gas we have developed zero carbon solutions for ammonia which is a key ingredient in agriculture and the food industry.” He added that Greenland is uniquely positioned to take a leading role internationally for supply of green ammonia.

Nicolai Fossar Fabritius, Chairman, Anori, stated, “At present, less than 1% of the global ammonia consumption globally is produced from renewable energy. We need to turn this around to come closer to 100% as soon as possible in order to reach the targets of the Paris agreement.”

Palle Christiansen, CEO, Anori, added, “Greenland has attractive wind resources and ample access to clean water. Clients are based internationally and Greenland will benefit from new employment and export revenues. This is a win-win project: from the climate to the treasure.”
