Casale has been awarded a contract to supply melamine technology by Anhui Haoyuan Chemical Group. The new melamine plant will feature Casale’s uLEM-N technology, with a design capacity of 60,000 t/a, and will be fully integrated into an urea plant operated by Anhui Haoyuan. This is the third project that the two companies have developed together, following the successful implementation of two 1,500 t/a ammonia synthesis loop plants based on Casale’s N-LOOP™ technology.

L&T Energy GreenTech Ltd (LTEG), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Larsen & Toubro (L&T), has entered into a joint development agreement with Japan’s Itochu Corporation of Japan to develop and commercialise a 300,000 t/a green ammonia project at Kandla in Gujarat state.

The Chechen Republic’s Ministry of Industry and Trade is reportedly in discussions with Chinese company Wuhuan over the construction of a mew nitrogen fertilizer plant in the region. Wuhuan is being considered as a potential EPC contractor, with technology and design coming from Russian design agency JSC GIAP. A site in the republic’s Naursky district has been earmarked for the project, which aims to produce 1,700 t/dm of ammonia and 3,000 t/d of urea. Development and construction is expected to take five years, with plant startup currently scheduled for the first half of 2030. The total cost of the project is estimated at $2.4 billion.

Polish company Hynfra PSA and the New & Renewable Energy Development Corporation of Andhra Pradesh have signed a memorandum of understanding to create the joint venture company JK Srivastava Hynfra (JKSH). The company plans invest $4 billion to build a new green ammonia plant powered by up to 3 GW of solar and wind energy supported by battery storage at Visakhapatnam in India’s Andhra Pradesh province. The plant will initially produce 100,000 t/a of green ammonia, with the eventual goal of scaling up to 1 million t/a. The first phase is due to be completed in Q1 2029. Some of the green ammonia will be exported to Japan, South Korea and Taiwan, while the remainder will be used domestically in the fertiliser and power sectors, particularly to support the decarbonisation of coal-based power generation through ammonia co-firing.
