Poland based hydrogen technology company Hynfra and Japan's ammonia production specialist Tsubame BHB Corporation have announced a partnership with Ukrainian energy company UTEM to build a solar and wind energy powered green hydrogen and ammonia cluster in war-ravaged Ukraine's Bucha city to ensure energy independence.
Right now the partners are preparing project objectives which will be followed by a feasibility study, according to the letters of intent signed.
While the individual capacity of the renewable energy sources uses is not disclosed, the partners plant to site the Green Industrial Zone to cover 3,000 hectares land to produce green hydrogen, green ammonia and also build ammonia and oxygen storage facilities here.
Green hydrogen and ammonia produced here will be used for electricity, fuel and fertilizers. Electricity produced will be used for local consumption.
Roles of all the partners is cut out for the project. The City of Bucha will provide land, Hynfra will prepare the concept and design, Tsubame will provide its technology for building safe green ammonia energy storage facilities and UTEM will be responsible for development and construction of the green zone.
