ExxonMobil to supply green ammonia for bunkering

Oil and gas major ExxonMobil is working with a Norwegian trio to produce and distribute up to 20,000 mt/year of green hydrogen and 100,000 mt/year of green ammonia specifically for marine applications.

The Norwegian trio includes Grieg Edge, the maritime-dedicated innovation unit of Grieg Maritime Group, ammonia producer North Ammonia and hydrogen infrastructure developer GreenH.

The quad will establish a green hydrogen and ammonia production and distribution facility at ExxonMobil's fuel terminal at the Slagen port in Norway.

“There is high value in producing green hydrogen close to where consumption is, because transporting hydrogen from where it’s produced to where it’s consumed is expensive,” GreenH chief executive Morten Watle has said. “Here at Slagen we can cut the transport, because ships will be able to bunker directly from the facility.”
