RWE, LOTTE CHEMICAL Mitsubishi join for clean ammonia project

Renewable energy company, RWE, chemical company, LOTTE CHEMICAL Corporation (LOTTE) and Mitsubishi Corporation have signed a joint study agreement (JSA) to develop a large-scale integrated clean ammonia production and export project in Port of Corpus Christi, Texas, USA.

Under the JSA, the partners have agreed to jointly study the development of a large-scale ammonia facility that integrates green and blue ammonia production and leverages common infrastructure for international exports with a focus on Asia and Europe. The parties target first production by 2030 and a phased build-out of production capacity with multiple production units. In the final build-out stage the project is envisaged to produce up to 10 million tons (9.04 million tonnes) of clean ammonia per year. The land required for the project is under discussion with the Port of Corpus Christi Authority.
