QatarEnergy’s affiliates to develop world’s largest blue ammonia facility

QatarEnergy’s affiliates, QatarEnergy Renewable Solutions and Qatar Fertiliser Company (QAFCO) have signed agreements for the construction of the Ammonia-7 Project, the industry’s first world-scale and largest blue ammonia project.

The new plant will have a capacity of 1.2 million tons per annum (MTPA) of blue ammonia, making it the world’s largest such facility.

The company said in a statement that the new plant in Mesaieed Industrial City is expected to start production in the first quarter of 2026, and will be operated by QAFCO as part of its integrated facilities.

Blue Ammonia is produced when the CO2 generated during conventional ammonia production is captured and stored. Blue ammonia, which can be transported using conventional ships, can then be used in power stations to produce low-carbon electricity.
