Green ammonia production in Norway
Iverson eFuels has been established to develop large-scale green ammonia production in Sauda, Norway.
With over 100 years of industrial history, Sauda holds a unique skill set and expertise essential for building the industry of the future. The global economy requires a clean energy source, and our product plays an important role in meeting this demand.
200,000 tonnes of green ammonia
Iverson eFuels will utilise renewable resources to produce over 200,000 tonnes of green ammonia per year. While this is a substantial volume, it represents only a small share of the anticipated future market. The initial phase will produce around 600 tonnes per day, with potential for expanding production capacity in later phases.
A world-leading green ammonia facility
The project will be among the first large-scale green ammonia facilities and contribute to the 2050 carbon neutrality target. The plant is scheduled to commence production in 2030.
Project overview
- Construction and operation of an appx. 240 MW electrolysis unit to produce green hydrogen, combined with the Haber-Bosch process for large-scale ammonia fuel production
- Industrial site in Sauda, close to Statnett’s high-voltage facility
- Approximately 15-20 hectares in size (equivalent to 20-26 football fields)
- Secure transport to the port via a concealed pipeline
- Storage and loading of ammonia at the port
- The project has received support from Agenda Vest (NOK 1.8 million) and the UllaFørre Fund (NOK 10 million).
Health, safety, and environment
Our top priorities are the health, safety, and well-being of the local community and employees. We are highly attentive to the environmental impact of our plans on the local environment. The facility will be designed, constructed, and operated using the best available technology, materials, and practices to meet all local and national regulatory requirements and global standards for the safe production, handling, and storage of ammonia.
Regulatory considerations
Ammonia is produced globally in large volumes using established technology in densely populated and remote areas. During the project planning in Sauda, comprehensive risk assessments and evaluations will be conducted to identify and mitigate risks. We maintain close communication with local authorities, and the facility will operate in full compliance with all regulatory requirements to ensure the safety and protection of people and the environment.
