Petrofac to explore green hydrogen to ammonia facility in Egypt

Petrofac said on Tuesday it has won its first new energy project in Egypt with an in-country subsidiary of Egypt-focused Mediterranean Energy Partners (MEP).

“Egypt is moving fast to develop its natural advantages for green energy with its abundant solar and wind resources, coupled with its strategic geographic location for exporting zero carbon products, and Petrofac is thrilled to be supporting this growth,” said Alex Haynes, Head of Business Development, New Energy Services, Petrofac.

The project, they explained, is an early-stage study assessing the feasibility of a new green hydrogen to ammonia facility that will target the production of 125,000 tonnes of green ammonia a year for export which will use a mix of solar and wind energy.
