Moroccan ammonia project receives construction loan
Pilot project will simulate different solar and wind load factors to evaluate green ammonia production efficiency
Investment firm Invest International has provided a loan to engineering firm Proton Ventures to support the construction of a 4 t/d green ammonia plant in Jorf Lasfar, Morocco. The pilot project will be equipped with both a polymer electrolyte membrane and alkaline electrolyser with a capacity of 2MW each and will start operation in early 2024. It will also be equipped with an “emulator” that can simulate different electrical load profiles, in particular a mix of solar and wind power. The plant will use the Haber-Bosch process to convert hydrogen and nitrogen to ammonia. “As Europe would in the future need to bring energy from overseas, Morocco is a great place for large-scale hydrogen produ
