Tecnimont has been awarded a contract for an integrated green hydrogen and green ammonia plant in Sines, Portugal. This project, led by MadoquaPower2X—a consortium including Madoqua Renewables, Power2X, and Copenhagen Infrastructure Partners (CIP)—marks a significant step towards green energy production in the region.

The project involves several critical phases. Tecnimont will design the integration of electrolyzers for hydrogen production, an air separation unit for nitrogen production, and the ammonia production plant. This phase will also cover the design of storage and ship loading facilities. Subsequently, Tecnimont will submit an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) proposal for the plant's construction. The project is expected to receive the final notice to proceed by March 22, 2024.

This project is poised to have a transformative impact on Portugal's energy landscape by establishing the first facility in Sines to produce green hydrogen and ammonia at an industrial scale. It leverages renewable energy sources such as solar and wind, contributing to the country's sustainability goals. For MadoquaPower2X, this project enhances their position in the green energy sector and creates a robust export value chain between Portugal and Northwestern Europe.

The project adheres to the highest environmental and safety standards. The use of renewable energy sources minimizes carbon emissions, aligning with global efforts to combat climate change. The integration of advanced safety protocols ensures the well-being of all personnel involved in the project.
