Thyssenkrupp awarded pre-FEED contracts for green ammonia in Brazil

Thyssenkrupp Uhde has been awarded the pre-FEED contracts by Fuella AS for the development of two large-scale green ammonia projects in the Port of Pecém, Brazil and the Port of Açu, Brazil. The PeGA and AçuGA projects target the production of 400,000 tonnes/year of green ammonia each, powered entirely by renewable energy. The pre-FEED phase will focus on optimizing the technical concept, progressing key engineering activities and maturing the business case for the ammonia facilities.

The pre-FEEDs will be based on Thyssenkrupp Uhde’s advanced uhde ammonia synthesis technology, specifically designed to meet the challenges of renewable-powered ammonia production. In addition, IT will deliver integration engineering across the entire facility, including electrolysis systems, balance of plant, and ammonia offloading infrastructure.

As Fuella advances ITS two first projects in Brazil, these pre-FEEDs will enable Fuella to progress through commercial milestones and develop execution approaches, laying the foundation for world-class green ammonia production hubs.

Nadja Håkansson, Member of the Executive Board/COO of thyssenkrupp Decarbon Technologies & CEO of Thyssenkrupp Uhde: “We are proud to partner with Fuella in advancing these two landmark green ammonia projects in Brazil. With our proven ammonia technology and strong integration capabilities, we will enable reliable and efficient ammonia production based on renewable energy. This collaboration highlights our shared ambition to accelerate the global energy transition and to establish large-scale, sustainable solutions for future ammonia markets.”

Founded in 2020, Fuella is a hydrogen platform that is developing, building and operating green hydrogen and green ammonia plants, among others the first large-scale green ammonia plant in Europe.
