thyssenkrupp Uhde signs pre-FEED contracts with Fuella AS for Pecém Green Ammonia Project (PeGA) and Açu Green Ammonia Project (AçuGA)
Engineering development to support production of 2x400 ktpa green ammonia using uhde® ammonia synthesis technology
Concept optimization leveraging thyssenkrupp Uhde’s proven RHAMFS® methodology
Fully integrated facility design aimed at delivering highly competitive project economics
thyssenkrupp Uhde has been awarded the pre-FEED contracts by Fuella AS for the development of two large-scale green ammonia projects in the Port of Pecém, Brazil and the Port of Açu, Brazil. The PeGA and AçuGA projects target the production of 400,000 tonnes per annum (tpa) of green ammonia each, powered entirely by renewable energy. The pre-FEED phase will focus on optimizing the technical concept, progressing key engineering activities and maturing the business case for the ammonia facilities.
The pre-FEEDs will be based on thyssenkrupp Uhde’s advanced uhde® ammonia synthesis technology, specifically designed to meet the challenges of dynamic, renewable-powered ammonia production. In addition, thyssenkrupp Uhde will deliver integration engineering across the entire facility, including electrolysis systems, balance of plant, and ammonia offloading infrastructure. As Fuella advances their two first projects in Brazil, these pre-FEEDs will enable Fuella to progress through commercial milestones and develop execution approaches, laying the foundation for world-class green ammonia production hubs.
Nadja Håkansson, Member of the Executive Board / COO of thyssenkrupp Decarbon Technologies & CEO of thyssenkrupp Uhde: “We are proud to partner with Fuella in advancing these two landmark green ammonia projects in Brazil. With our proven ammonia technology and strong integration capabilities, we will enable reliable and efficient ammonia production based on renewable energy. This collaboration highlights our shared ambition to accelerate the global energy transition and to establish large-scale, sustainable solutions for future ammonia markets.”
Dr. Thorsten Helms, Managing Director of Fuella AS, said: “For our two first projects in Brazil, we are very pleased to work with such a renowned company. thyssenkrupp Uhde convinced us not only with their technical leadership, but also with their knowledge of the local context and willingness to truly partner up with us on these promising projects”.
