Independent energy company, Horisont Energi and independent storage company, Koole Terminals have announced a collaboration agreement to develop a logistic value chain for clean ammonia.
In 2021, the two companies signed a memorandum of understanding to collaborate on the development of a terminal and storage facility at the Port of Rotterdam. The terminal will receive clean ammonia produced and shipped from the clean ammonia plant Barents Blue located in Finnmark, in the north of Norway. The Barents Blue project is Europe’s largest clean ammonia production facility.
The current cooperation agreement is a continuation of the memorandum of understanding. It will now include a broader scope of work to develop an international logistic value chain for clean ammonia. This is a big step for Horisont Energi and the commercialisation of the Barents Blue project.
CEO of Horisont Energi , Bjørgulf Haukelidsæter Eidesen says: ‘This cooperation agreement with Koole Terminals is an important step for the clean ammonia logistics in our projects and for Horisont Energi. To serve the market with clean ammonia, we are eager to start the work to develop a full logistic value chain…We look forward to continuing the good cooperation with Koole Terminals.’
‘We’re working closely together with various launching customers for our Rotterdam ammonia and carbon dioxide terminal. Horisont Energi is among the first and most developed. We cherish the good partnership and working relation and see them as one of the frontrunners in providing clean energy and decarbonisation solutions…We stand together with Horisont Energi in driving the energy transition forward,’ adds Tamme Mekkes, business development director of Koole Terminals.
