Hive Coega, South Africa's ambitious green ammonia initiative, has moved into its construction phase with the release of tenders for core infrastructure components. This milestone, coming four years after the project's inception, signals a significant advancement towards the project's execution. The initiative, led by Hive Hydrogen and situated in the Coega Special Economic Zone on South Africa's eastern coast, is positioned as the country's largest green ammonia project. The release of tenders to fifteen international EPC firms represents a crucial step in the construction of a green ammonia production plant capable of producing one million tonnes annually. Additionally, the tenders cover the development of essential pipelines, storage facilities, desalination units, and renewable energy sources totaling over 3,000 megawatts, emphasizing the project's comprehensive approach to sustainable energy generation. With a focus on establishing an integrated industrial chain, Hive Coega aims to encompass all aspects of the hydrogen and ammonia production process, from electrolysis to export logistics, with a primary focus on European and Asian markets. The project, which has received financing from the SA-H2 fund, signifies a significant investment in green hydrogen technologies in South Africa, with an initial $20 million already allocated for preparatory work. Through the utilization of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power, Hive Coega aims to achieve a sustainable energy mix, with solar alone projected to provide 40% of the required energy. The project's progression into the execution phase highlights a tangible step towards the project's realization, setting it apart from other conceptual initiatives across the continent. If the planned timeline is adhered to, South Africa could potentially become the first African country to deliver green ammonia on a significant scale by 2029, positioning the nation as a key player in the global green energy landscape.
