OCI Clean Ammonia
OCI Clean Ammonia is the world’s first large-scale, low-carbon intensity (“CI”) hydrogen-based greenfield ammonia facility, which began engineering in late 2021, construction in December 2022, and is expected to produce first ammonia in 2025. Offering first-mover advantages including superior construction terms and favorable tax incentives, the Project is a unique collaboration between OCI and Linde that integrates Linde’s low CI hydrogen production and carbon capture technology with OCI’s ammonia production, storage and transportation infrastructure. In addition, Linde has contracted with ExxonMobil the CO2 transportation and sequestration infrastructure.
