The upcoming terminal will be able to receive ships with deep drafts and feature cryogenic ammonia storage. It will also have ammonia cracking facilities for conversion back to hydrogen and distribution networks for ammonia and hydrogen, according to the project blueprint of Essar Energy-owned Stanlow Terminals.

Essar Energy will import ammonia produced in India's Gujarat to Stanlow Terminals.

The green ammonia will be imported for “onwards distribution into the UK or conversion back to green hydrogen,” and the green hydrogen will be supplied to a variety of industries throughout the region, including shipping, says the company.

The terminal will be built within Stanlow Terminals' existing infrastructure in the Port of Liverpool and be connected to the Hynet low-carbon hydrogen network.

Stanlow Terminals is investing in “new energies infrastructure” to help the UK reach its net-zero emissions target, says the company’s chief executive Michael Gaynon.
