Petrofac has won its first new energies project in Egypt with an in-country subsidiary of Egypt-focused Mediterranean Energy Partners (MEP).
The project is an early-stage study assessing the feasibility of new green hydrogen to an ammonia facility that will target the production of 125,000 tonnes of green ammonia a year for export, using a mix of solar and wind energy.
Petrofac’s scope will be key to successfully delivering the project and includes sizing the electrolyzers and the feasibility of export facilities at Ain Sokhna Port on the Gulf of Suez.
