MBH CORP. PLC EO 1

MB Energy intends to build a large ammonia import terminal in the Port of Hamburg and is seeking approval this year; Air Products is supposed to split the ammonia into hydrogen and nitrogen but is not formally involved yet. The project would be a key element for developing a hydrogen economy in Germany; MB Energy also names potential supplier countries such as Saudi Arabia, Canada and the USA and stresses that both "blue" and "green" ammonia will play a role. The schedule foresees approval by the end of the year, a subsequent investment decision and around two and a half years of construction. » More on welt.de

MB Energy plans an ammonia import terminal in the Port of Hamburg including storage tanks and logistics to support the later hydrogen ramp-up; a partial approval has been granted and full authorization is expected later this year. Air Products is slated as a partner that could split the ammonia into hydrogen; the first imports are expected to come from the USA (Texas City). Despite political support, costs, production volumes and demand incentives for climate-neutral hydrogen remain unclear, while companies such as ArcelorMittal are putting projects on hold. » More on welt.de
