Hynfra and Amarenco MENA form strategic partnership to produce hydrogen and ammonia in MENA region.
Hynfra, a Polish company, has signed a framework cooperation agreement with Amarenco MENA, a major developer of renewable energy projects in the Middle East and North Africa and part of Amarenco Group. The strategic partnership is aimed at building infrastructure for the production of hydrogen and its derivatives, primarily ammonia, using electrolysis powered by clean energy resources.
Under the agreement, the partnership’s focus will be on producing green ammonia and hydrogen in the MENA region. The area has high solar radiation levels, making it an ideal location for large-scale solar energy production.
Marlena Krohn, Hynfra’s Managing Director responsible for Middle East projects, said:
We have signed a global framework agreement for joint green ammonia and hydrogen projects, which require the use of renewable energy sources.
“We are excited to work with Amarenco, the world’s leading renewable energy producer. Amarenco will be responsible for developing photovoltaic farms and energy storage facilities, while Hynfra will provide the technology for producing renewable hydrogen and its derivatives.”
This partnership between Hynfra and Amarenco MENA marks a significant step towards a cleaner and more sustainable future for the MENA region.
Yazan Faouri, CEO of Amarenco MENA, said
We are excited to partner with Hynfra to build a sustainable hydrogen and ammonia production infrastructure in the MENA region.
