The facility, which is understood to be the world’s largest hydrogen-based ammonia project, is worth around $10bn and set to produce over two million tonnes of the hydrogen carrier per year once at full scale in 2030.
China National Chemical Engineering Company subsidiary CC7 has been awarded the front-end engineering and design (FEED) and engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contracts.
H2 View understands that the firm is one of the largest EPC corporations in the world. Since it was founded in 1964, CC7 has completed more than 600 domestic projects in the fields of chemical industry and municipal works, including the first fertiliser plant in China.
CC7 is expected to also provide its expertise in the renewables sector, with Hyphen’s project set to leverage around 7GW of renewable electricity generation.
The project in Namibia, which represents over 80% of the nation’s GDP, is anticipated to create 15,000 jobs during construction and 3,000 once operational.
Hyphen – a UK-German joint venture between Enertrag and Nicholas Holdings – has received strong policy backing for its green ammonia production and export initiative.
In 2023, Hyphen and the Development Bank of South Africa (DBSA) closed a €5m funding loan, while the project was also recognised as a “strategic foreign project” under a letter of intent with the German government.
