Topsoe partners with Hynfra P.S.A. to advance green ammonia in Jordan

  • Topsoe has signed a front-end engineering and design (FEED) agreement with Hynfra P.S.A. for an advanced gree ammonia project in Jordan.
  • When fully operational, Topsoe’s technology will enable an annual emission avoidance of more than 200,000 tons of CO2e compared to ammonia produced from natural gas.
  • Final investment decision is expected to be taken in 2027, and the plant is expected to start operations in 2030.

Topsoe has signed a FEED agreement for Hynfra’s green ammonia project located in the port of Aqaba, Jordan. The FEED is the detailed engineering and design of the plant and Topsoe’s ammonia synthesis technology will be part of this design. The synthesis technology will convert the facility’s green hydrogen to ammonia based on Topsoe’s ModuLite™ platform – a reliable concept that enables fast deployment and scalable production.

The project, Jordan Green Ammonia, has been established as a joint venture between Hynfra and Fidelity Group, an industrial development company. It is Hynfra’s first project in the Middle East.​

Hynfra intends to export the green ammonia to the international fertilizer markets.

Green Ammonia is expected to play a critical role in decarbonizing energy-intensive industries and long-distance transportation. It can be transported using existing infrastructure and supports multiple end-uses – as a fuel, a hydrogen carrier and a pathway to decarbonize steel, cement and fertilizer production.
