- Scatec and Acme have acquired the world’s first green hydrogen and ammonia certificate.
- Both companies plan to deploy a green hydrogen production facility with a capacity of 1.2 million tonnes of green ammonia.
Inspection service provider TUV Rheinland has issued the world’s first green hydrogen and green ammonia certificate to Scatec ASA and India’s Acme Group. Both companies plan to build a production facility with a capacity of 1.2 million tonnes of green ammonia in Oman.
Scatec and Acme in March unveiled a plan to jointly build and operate a large-scale green hydrogen and ammonia production facility in the Duqm Special Economic Zone. The electrolysers will have a capacity of 300MW and be powered by 500MW of solar.
The project will be implemented by Green Hydrogen and Chemicals SPC, an equally owned joint venture founded by the partner companies.
Following an assessment, the Germany-based inspection company concluded that Green Hydrogen and Chemicals SPC meets all criteria based on defined production methods, transport methods, and hydrogen applications. The certificate proves that ammonia and hydrogen produced from green energy have significantly lower levels of greenhouse-gas emissions than conventional hydrogen or fossil fuels.
