State-owned energy firm Qatar Energy has broken ground on its <\/strong>QAR 4.4<\/a><\/strong>bn (c. USD 1.2 bn) blue ammonia plant<\/a><\/strong> in Mesaieed Industrial City (MIC)<\/strong>, according to a press release<\/a>. The plant \u2014 initially scheduled for completion by 1Q 202 \u2014 is now set to begin operation by 2Q 2026. <\/p>\n

(** Tap or click the headline above to read this story with all of the links<\/strong> to our background and outside sources.)<\/p>\n

In numbers: <\/strong>The plant will produce up to 1.2 mn tons of blue ammonia annually and includes a carbon capture and storage (CCS) facility able to capture some 1.5 mn tons of CO2 per year. <\/p>\n

Who\u2019s involved? <\/strong>ThyssenKrupp and Consolidated Contractors Company are building the facility, while Qatar Fertiliser (QAFCO) is set to be the operator. QatarEnergy Renewable Solutions will also develop and manage the CCS facility and will supply the plant with 35 MW of power from its solar PV plant in MIC. <\/p>\n

A quick recap:<\/strong> \u2018Blue\u2019 ammonia<\/a> serves as feedstock for hydrogen. Although not as environmentally friendly as \u2018green\u2019 ammonia, it\u2019s still seen as a source of clean energy. Unlike conventional production, blue ammonia involves the use of carbon capture, which stores the CO2 underground and prevents its release into the atmosphere. Ammonia has a range of other uses, including powering ships and producing fertilizer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
