OCI Global secures green hydrogen offtake agreement from ZeroParks from 2025
In the Netherlands, OCI Global announced an agreement to offtake green hydrogen from New Fortress Energy Inc.’s ZeroParks beginning in 2025, following a competitive bidding process. The agreement will allow OCI Global to significantly scale up green ammonia production capacity to approximately 160,000 tons per year in Beaumont, Texas.
This agreement follows the 100-megawatt (MW) electrolyzer system order from Electric Hydrogen Co. (EH2) announced by New Fortress Energy last Tuesday. The green hydrogen will be produced by ZeroParks, NFE’s hydrogen business, using proton exchange membrane (PEM) technology and delivered to OCI’s facilities in Beaumont, Texas where it will then be converted into green ammonia.
NFE’s first green hydrogen project, ZeroPark I, will come online in two phases; the first phase in 2025, allowing OCI to produce approximately 80,000 tons per year of green ammonia and the second, in 2026, doubling OCI’s production capacity to 160,000 tons per year.
