Australian energy firm Woodside Energy recently acquired a 1.1 million mt/year ammonia project, currently under construction in Beaumont, Texas from Dutch ammonia producer OCI Global.

OCI Global had earlier announced that the facility will start producing grey ammonia in 2025, followed by blue ammonia in 2026. Beuttel has now confirmed this timeline in a social media post.

“On volume split, we are working with a number of offtakers and interest has been high across various sectors - industry, power generation, shipping/bunkering, and others,” Beuttel said.
