Under the MoU, Black & Veatch will study the production and storage of green hydrogen using solar or wind power supplied through the grid. The study also includes development of a green ammonia plant. The companies are targeting production of 180,000 t/y of green ammonia and 30,000 t/y of green hydrogen to support regional decarbonization efforts.

“Partnering with Black & Veatch will allow us to adapt global best practices to Asia’s requirements and contribute to the region’s zero-carbon future,” said TGS founder and CEO Winnie Huynh.

Hydrogen can be used for power generation, energy storage and advanced transportation solutions, while ammonia, which can be liquified for storage and shipment globally, can be used in multiple energy-intensive industries to produce electricity or other green chemicals.
