Transforming Energy Landscapes: Marubeni and Envision Energy's Green Ammonia Partnership
Key Ideas
  • Marubeni and Envision Energy sign a historic offtake agreement for green ammonia produced in Inner Mongolia, China, marking a milestone in the global adoption of clean energy.
  • The collaboration aims to accelerate the production and commercialization of green ammonia, supporting the transition to low-carbon energy solutions globally.
  • Green ammonia is recognized for its diverse applications with zero CO2 emissions, expected to fuel decarbonization efforts across industries and contribute to a cleaner energy ecosystem.
  • Envision Energy plans to start trial production in 2024, with commercial operation scheduled from late 2025, making it the world's first large-scale green ammonia facility.
Marubeni Corporation and Envision Energy have entered a significant long-term offtake agreement for green ammonia produced in Inner Mongolia, China. This partnership showcases the growing momentum in the global shift towards clean energy, affirming the commercial viability of green ammonia as an important energy solution. By leveraging Envision Energy's expertise in green hydrogen-ammonia solutions and Marubeni's global energy trade network, the collaboration aims to drive large-scale production and widespread adoption of green ammonia. This initiative is expected to benefit industries like chemicals and fertilizers, promoting sustainable growth internationally. Specifically for Japan, the partnership will accelerate the country's transition to a green economy, supporting its sustainability objectives. Envision Energy's Senior Vice President, Frank Yu, emphasized the significance of the partnership in advancing the role of hydrogen-ammonia in the global energy landscape. The agreement involves Marubeni off-taking green ammonia from Envision's Inner Mongolia plant on a long-term basis for distribution to its customers, marking Marubeni Group's first long-term offtake agreement for green ammonia. Green ammonia, known for its zero CO2 emissions in production, is set to play a crucial role as a chemical feedstock and energy source for decarbonization efforts. Envision Energy's upcoming green ammonia production in Inner Mongolia, starting with trial runs in 2024 and commercial operations from late 2025, is poised to be a significant step in establishing a large-scale green ammonia facility, with an initial capacity of 300,000 tons per year.
