Norwegian state-owned power group Statkraft says that it is moving ahead with plans for a 400 MW green hydrogen and ammonia production facility in the Shetland Islands, after securing a land lease near the disused Scatsta Airport. Known as the Shetland Hydrogen Project 2, the facility will use electrolytic hydrogen to produce green ammonia for a range of industrial applications, including use as a sustainable marine fuel and to help decarbonise fertiliser production.

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.
