Tecnimont Wins Contract for Green Ammonia Plant Design in India

Tecnimont, through its Indian subsidiary Tecnimont Private Limited (TCMPL), along with NEXTCHEM, has secured an Engineering Design Study contract from Sembcorp Green Hydrogen India Pvt Ltd. This contract marks the beginning of the Front-End Engineering Design (FEED) phase for a green ammonia plant in India.

The project will leverage NEXTCHEM’s digital tool ArcHy (Architecture of Hydrogen systems) to tackle challenges associated with the intermittency of renewable power. ArcHy will optimize capital and operational expenditure by analyzing renewable energy production data collected over a year in various weather conditions. This will help in sizing components like electrolyzers, storage systems, and green ammonia production facilities, aiming to minimize the plant’s levelized cost of ammonia.

Alessandro Bernini, CEO of MAIRE Tecnimont, highlighted the company's dedication to global energy transition initiatives. He stated, “Our involvement underscores our capability to propose engineering and technological solutions that align with industry decarbonization goals and enhance cost-efficiency. This project demonstrates our integrated approach and reliability across all project phases.”

The contract requires TCMPL to design all elements of the facility, providing specialized engineering services to meet sustainability and operational needs. This project signifies a crucial step in advancing India’s green hydrogen and ammonia production capabilities.

With this contract, Tecnimont reaffirms its role as a key player in the energy transition, contributing to sustainable and cost-efficient industrial solutions.
