Pre-front-end engineering design completed for Egypt’s Dumyat green ammonia project
Thread Content
Recently, the green ammonia project at Port Dumyat in Egypt completed its Pre-FEED engineering design work. The total investment in this project is 873 million dollars, with an annual production capacity of 150,000 tons. Ammonia will be produced by using green hydrogen generated from renewable energy together with nitrogen; the products are intended to supply the low-carbon fuel and fertilizer markets in Europe and Asia. Led by Dumyat Green Ammonia Company, the completion of the pre-front-end engineering design allows the project team to accurately estimate construction costs, optimize the process flow, and assess environmental and social impacts. Next, the project will enter the front-end engineering design phase, which is expected to take 12 to 14 months. If the financing progresses smoothly, a final investment decision is expected to be made in the first half of 2027. The project construction period is approximately 3 years, with commissioning slated around 2030. Green ammonia is regarded as a key carrier for decarbonizing shipping and producing clean fertilizers. Compared to traditional ammonia production, the green ammonia production process generates almost no carbon dioxide emissions. Port of Dumyat boasts a developed natural gas infrastructure and export terminals, which can be easily converted into facilities for the storage and shipment of green ammonia. Once completed, the project is expected to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 250,000 tons per year. With its abundant solar and wind energy resources, Egypt has become an important hub for the production of green hydrogen and green ammonia. The Egyptian government has included the green ammonia project at Port Dumyat in its **green hydrogen strategy**, and provides tax incentives and land support to investors. The advancement of this project will add an important link to the low-carbon energy supply chain in the Eastern Mediterranean region.
Egyptian Industry Minister Khaled Hashem held talks with a delegation from Egypt’s Amon Green Ammonia Company (EAGA). The company is a consortium formed by the Polish firm Hynfra and the Egyptian company Coxswains, with both parties discussing a proposed green ammonia project. The initial investment for this project is estimated at $5 billion, and this amount will double once full production is achieved. The project is expected to begin operations in 2031, with an initial annual production capacity of 400,000 tons, which can be increased to 1 million tons in subsequent phases. Tomoho Umeda (President of Hynfra) attended the meeting along with officials from the Ministry of Industry. The project is planned to be located in Ras Banas in southeastern Egypt, and will be powered by a hybrid renewable energy system with a total installed capacity of up to 2000 megawatts (MW), with solar and wind energy accounting for half of this capacity each. The facility is designed to operate independently of the **power grid, covering an area of about 100 square kilometers. The project also plans to build supporting comprehensive export infrastructure, including dedicated ports for the transportation of green ammonia. In the first phase, annual export revenue is expected to be around $490 million, and all production volume has been secured through contracts, with exports primarily directed to the Central and Eastern Europe market. Hashem said that the Ministry of Industry supports projects aimed at expanding the use of renewable energy and promoting industrial development, which will help enhance Egypt’s role as a regional and global hub for hydrogen and green ammonia production. He pointed out that the project is in line with the strategic goals of **promoting the localization of advanced renewable energy technologies, optimizing the energy structure, and reducing** grid pressure. Meanwhile, Umeda emphasized that Hynfra aims to leverage its nearly century-long experience in the ammonia industry to support Egypt’s development, noting that the project will foster synergy with key sectors such as agriculture, water resources, and energy, in line with broader economic development goals. Hynfra is a company based in Poland that focuses on the development of projects related to renewable hydrogen and ammonia. Recently, the company expanded its presence in Egypt by establishing EAGA – Egypt Ammonia Green Ammonia Company, a joint venture created with Coxswains. At the same time, Coxswains is a strategic marketing and business services company whose services cover various sectors such as energy, media, hospitality, and industrial solutions.
