Global Hydrogen Review,


Worley has been selected by First Ammonia to deliver the front-end engineering design (FEED) for an electric ammonia facility in Victoria, Texas, USA.

This facility has an initial anticipated production capacity of 300 tpd of electric ammonia and will also be the first to utilise solid oxide electrolyser technology (SOEC) for hydrogen production.

This technology will set new standards in energy efficiency, by utilising a process that is 30% more energy efficient compared to conventional electrolysers.

The plant’s design accommodates fluctuating renewable energy and will play a key role in stabilising the local grid and paving the way for scalable and cost-effective ammonia production.

The FEED study has a target completion date of 1Q25, with construction expected to begin later in 2025.

Marc Van Den Boom, Senior Vice President of Gulf Coast Operations, commented: “We’re thrilled to partner with First Ammonia on this ground-breaking project. The plant is a pivotal step in delivering decarbonised energy solutions, and we look forward to supporting the project’s success.”

Joel Moser, CEO of First Ammonia, emphasised the significance of the collaboration: "We are excited to be partnering with Worley, whose strong relationship with Topsoe, our technology licensor, and proven Gulf Coast expertise will help us decarbonise heavy industry, transport fuels, and power generation. Clean ammonia is essential in reducing emissions across hard-to-abate sectors, and Worley’s capabilities are vital for enabling decentralised, electric ammonia production."
