US manufacturer Plug Power has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Australian developer Allied Green Ammonia (AGA) to supply 3GW of PEM electrolysers from 2027 for a planned project in Australia’s Northern Territory.
AGA plans to take a final investment decision next year on its Green Ammonia Production Facility, which it plans to build on the Gove Peninsula in the far northeast of the territory from 2027.
According to AGA, the project — which will produce 2,500 tonnes of green ammonia a day, or more than 900,000 tonnes annually — “will be one of the most energy efficient green hydrogen and green ammonia projects globally”.
The partners plan to agree on a deal for Plug to provide a Basic Engineering and Design Package (also known as a front-end engineering design, or FEED) for the 3GW project.
“Our MOU with Plug builds on a long list of leading global firms who are joining us on our journey to build one of the largest green ammonia production facilities in the world, in a strategically located part of Australia given its proximity to Asia,” said AGA managing director Alfred Benedict.
