Henfra to Invest $1.6 Billion in Egypt’s Green Ammonia Production

Henfra, a prominent Polish company, has announced plans to invest $1.6 billion in the construction of a green ammonia production facility in Egypt. The facility, which is expected to reach a capacity of one million tonnes per year, will contribute to Egypt’s green energy transition and strengthen its position as a global hub for renewable hydrogen and ammonia production.

The project will leverage Egypt’s abundant solar and wind energy resources to power the entire production process, ensuring a sustainable and low-carbon footprint. The green hydrogen produced through water electrolysis will be combined with nitrogen to create green ammonia.

The initial phase of the project, with a capacity of 100,000 tonnes per year, is scheduled to be operational by 2030. The entire output of the facility is earmarked for export to the European Union, where there is a growing demand for green hydrogen and ammonia to decarbonize various industries.

The Egyptian government has been actively promoting the development of green hydrogen and ammonia projects, offering attractive incentives and streamlined regulatory processes. The collaboration between Henfra and the Egyptian government underscores the country’s commitment to sustainable development and its potential as a global leader in clean energy.

This strategic partnership between Henfra and Egypt will not only contribute to Egypt’s economic growth but also position the country as a key player in the global green hydrogen and ammonia market.
