📋 Tender Overview
Scope of Work:
Construction of Mega Green Ammonia Plant in Tarfaya in southern Morocco.
Description:
The Tarfaya project, slated to be the world’s first Power-to-X green ammonia programme, includes a transmission grid, hydrogen and ammonia plants and storage facilities and a temporary camp for 30,000 workers (growing to the creation of a city for the project’s workers and their families), all powered by wind and solar energy. Delivery is being led by JESA (a joint venture between OCP Group and Worley), and Worley’s team is executing the FEED. Work will commence in September 2024 and when complete, will progress to engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM). The project is expected to be operational in 2027 and is anticipated to produce one million tonnes of green ammonia per year, with potential to increase to three million tonnes per year by 2032.
The Tarfaya green ammonia project is part of OCP Group’s green growth programme, which provides for a global investment of about $12 billion over the 2023-2027 period and is based on increasing mining and fertiliser production capacities while achieving full carbon neutrality by 2040. The project includes 2.8GW wind farm, 1 GW solar PV power plant, 2.7GWh of battery storage. The power generation and associated facilities will span an area of 100,000 hectares while the industrial site will span 100 hectares.
