ACWA Power to develop green hydrogen and ammonia projects in Uzbekistan
ACWA Power, the Ministry of Energy, and Uzkimyssanat have signed detailed heads of terms agreements for the development of the first green hydrogen facility and a green ammonia project in the Republic of Uzbekistan.
The pilot hydrogen project will be an integrated facility that will be connected to an existing ammonia factory in Chirchiq, 45 km from Tashkent. It will produce 3,000 tonnes of renewable hydrogen annually.
ACWA Power will manage the whole value chain of integration of the existing infrastructure project to green hydrogen, which should boost the facility's service factor and reduce its natural gas consumption. This plant will be commissioned in December 2024 after an accelerated development timeframe.
