The EPC contract has been awarded to a consortium of ThyssenKrupp and Consolidated Contractors Company (CCC).

Conventional ammonia production generates CO2 if it is manufactured with fossil fuel. However, CO2 generated gets captured and stored during the production of blue ammonia, reported Reuters.

The cost of Ammonia-7 Project is estimated at about $1.06bn.

The project will capture and sequester 1.5 million tonnes of CO2 annually via the production process.

Qatar Minister of State for Energy Affairs, and QatarEnergy president and CEO Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi said: “Ammonia-7 is a landmark project for Qatar and for the industry as a whole. It builds on our expertise in installing, operating, and maintaining conventional ammonia plants to produce fertilizers.

“We are also building on our unique position in the renewables and carbon capture and sequestration space, as well as on our ideal logistical capabilities and advantages to supply differentiated, low carbon products and fuels to the world.”
