Worley – Leading design for the first commercial scale electric ammonia plant on the US Gulf Coast

This facility has an initial anticipated production capacity of 300 metric tonnes of electric ammonia per day and will also be the first to utilize solid oxide electrolyzer technology (SOEC) for hydrogen production.

This technology will set new standards in energy efficiency, by utilizing a process that is 30 percent more energy efficient compared to conventional electrolyzers.

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

The FEED study has a target completion date of Q1 2025, with construction expected to begin later this year.

Clean ammonia is essential in reducing emissions across hard-to-abate sectors, and Worley’s capabilities are vital for enabling decentralized, electric ammonia production.
