Yara, a global fertilizer company, and Ørsted have joined forces to develop a 100MW wind powered electrolyser plant for renewable hydrogen production, aiming to replace fossil-based hydrogen with renewable hydrogen for ammonia production in Yara’s Sluiskil plant, located in the Dutch province of Zeeland.
 
The renewable hydrogen would generate around 75,000 tons of green ammonia per year – approximately 10% of the capacity of one of the ammonia plants in Sluiskil – based on dedicated renewable energy supply from Ørsted’s offshore wind farms. Ørsted is about to inaugurate its Borssele 1&2 offshore wind farm, located off the coast of Zeeland close to the Sluiskil plant.
 
The green ammonia is intended to be used in the production of carbon neutral fertilizer products, decarbonising the food value chain, and also has potential as a future climate neutral shipping fuel. Subject to sufficient co-funding and a confirmed business case, a final investment decision to build the new plant could be taken late 2021 or early 2022.
