Green ammonia production in Norway
Iverson eFuels AS is established to develop large scale production of green ammonia in Sauda, Norway. Together with the local community and national authorities we are developing the future of green industry. We are planning development of a large scale, green ammonia plant, deploying industrial use of electrolysis and ammonia technology. Sauda has over a century of industrial history and a unique competence that is needed to build the industry of the future. The global economy needs a clean and reliable source of energy and our product plays a major part in the transformation to new and green energy.
200,000 tons of green ammonia
Iverson eFuels AS will use renewable resources to produce approximately 200,000 tons of green ammonia annually, which is considered substantial volumes, but a fraction of the expected future marked demand. The plant production in first phase is around 600 tonnes per day, but Iverson will look to expand production capacity even further in next project phases.
A world leading green plant
With a several hundred million EUR capital investment Iverson eFuels AS becomes one of the leading green ammonia plants in world. The project will be among the first large scale megawatt-scale green ammonia plants in the world, contributing to the goal of carbon neutrality in 2050. The plant is expected to be ready for operation by mid 2027.
Project in short:
-
600+ million EUR investment – a significant industrial plant development
-
The location of the plant is at the industrial site at Sauda, close to the Statnett grid point
-
The facility is expected to fill appr. 15-20 ha, corresponding to 20-26 football pitches
-
Construction and commissioning from the end of 2024
-
Expected to enter full operation by mid 2027
-
50-100 permanent jobs in first phase
- The project is supported with 1,8 million NOK by Agenda Vesst and 10 million NOK by the UllaFørre fund.
Security
The health and safety of the community and employees is priority number one. There is focus on the plant’s environmental impact as well as the circumstances in the local nature. The facility will be designed, built, and operated as a world-class facility, utilizing the best available technologies, materials, and practices to meet all local and national regulatory requirements, as well as global industry standards for safe production, handling, and storage of ammonia.
Regulatory compliance
Ammonia is being produced globally in large quantities with known technology in remote areas and densely populated areas. During project planning, extensive quantitative risk analyses and assessments are carried out to identify and minimize any risks. There is a close dialogue with local authorities and the facility strictly complies with all regulatory requirements in relation to safety and protection of people and environment. Security policies in relation to processes and procedures will be based on the best current industry practices and standards.
