- Envision Energy has opened a facility producing 320,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually, powered entirely by AI-integrated off-grid renewable energy.
- The plant aims to reach 1.5 million tonnes by 2028 and match grey ammonia prices within three years.
Envision Energy has launched what it claims is the world’s largest green hydrogen and ammonia production facility, located in the Chifeng Net Zero Industrial Park in Inner Mongolia.
The plant, powered entirely by an AI-integrated off-grid renewable energy system, will produce 320,000 tonnes of green ammonia annually. Exports will begin in the fourth quarter of this year.
Envision’s renewable setup includes wind turbines, grid-forming battery storage, and predictive meteorological modelling. Electrolysers adjust dynamically to fluctuations in renewable power, while excess energy is stored as liquid nitrogen in a dynamic air-separation unit.
The company plans to expand the site’s capacity to 1.5 million tonnes of green ammonia annually by 2028.
The facility has received Renewable Ammonia Certification from Bureau Veritas and secured a long-term offtake agreement with Japanese trading company Marubeni Corp.
Envision said the project marks a significant milestone in making clean fuels cost-competitive. “Scalable, green alternatives are now real and operational,” said Envision Founder and CEO Lei Zhang. “We can’t get to net zero without green hydrogen, and we can’t afford to wait. This is the blueprint for a clean energy future.”
The company aims to achieve price parity with grey ammonia and methanol by 2028.
