Omnia Group of South Africa and WKN Windcurrent, a subsidiary of German renewables giant PNE, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to access onsite production of green hydrogen and ammonia in South Africa.
The agreement calls for a production of 100,000 tonne of green ammonia per year, with the plant powered by renewable energy from hybrid sources.
PNE's subsidiary will develop the necessary equipment to combine ammonia production with wind and solar energy generation. The plant aims to produce competitively priced green ammonia, which could prevent 180,000 tons of CO2 emissions per annum.
