    Marubeni signs a long-term offtake agreement for green ammonia

    Marubeni has signed a long-term offtake agreement with green technology company Envision Energy Co., Ltd for ammonia produced from renewable energy in Inner Mongolia, China. Marubeni says that it will take a certain volume of green ammonia produced at a plant on a long-term basis and supply it to clients. This project marks Marubeni’s first long-term offtake agreement for green ammonia, via which Marubeni aims to establish its position as a key supplier in the green ammonia market.

    Envision plans to begin trial production of green ammonia with wind-generated electricity in Chifeng City, Inner Mongolia. The company’s commercial green ammonia plants are scheduled to start operations from September 2025 onwards, with an initial production capacity of 300,000 t/a in the project’s first phase. Envision is aiming to eventually produce 5 million t/a.
