    Sinochem News, according to World Natural Gas News on June 23: Dutch fertilizer producer OCI has joined a global-scale blue ammonia production project in Ruwais, UAE, through a joint venture with Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) Fertiglobe
    .

    Fertiglobe has signed a participation agreement with the project developer TA'ZIZ, which is a joint venture between ADNOC and Abu Dhabi Development Holdings (ADQ)
    .

    The facilities in the plan will produce up to 100 million tons/year of blue ammonia from nitrogen and blue hydrogen extracted from natural gas

    OCI said that the partner will conduct engineering design studies before making a final investment decision in 2022

    Nassef Sawiris, CEO of OCI, stated that the cooperation “is very much in line with our global and regional platform decarbonization strategy

    Sawiris said that as the world shifts to clean energy, ammonia offers "huge potential" and will become a driver of the hydrogen economy
    .

    "Ammonia is a multi-purpose clean hydrogen carrier.
    In addition to various fertilizers and downstream industrial uses, there are many exciting fuel applications
